Avro Vulcan Bomber & Double Avro Lancaster Bombers - The Three Sisters
Вставка
- Опубліковано 20 сер 2014
- A day not, to be missed, as the Three Avro sisters took to the skies over Lincolnshire, in a never to be repeated formation. The day start's at RAF Waddington, where the Lancasters are captured doing a fly by. Swiftly followed by their scheduled landing. For the formation flight we headed to Canwick Hill,where i had to move last second as the trio were slightly to the left of me, and were out of my sight, So it was a bit of a rushed shot.
Apologies for the interference in the scenes at Waddington, radar was causing my microphone issues.
Hope you enjoy the video.

Amazing that there's only 11 years between the first flights of the Lancaster and Vulcan
dang
That's the raate of progress in those days
Amazing fact right there.
Lancaster first flight 1941, Vulcan first flight 1952... wow!
My late father, a Lancaster pilot based at RAF Waddington in 467 Squadron, would so loved to have seen this. Thanks for posting.
The sound alone of those Merlins...pure joy.
@Repeat After Me: They are Olympus engines and not Avon.
According to Avrosystems's website:
"There were two main types of engine used in the Avro Lancaster Bomber. The Rolls-Royce Merlin, and the Bristol Hercules. The majority of aircraft built, [95%] used the Rolls-Royce Merlin, 60 degree, V12, petrol engine. The Merlin, was water cooled [30% Glycol], using wet-liner technology."
@Repeat After Me: You're right , that would had given an angelic chor ... :) Greets
@@knottymaker5098 Lancaster has no Olympus-Engine, certainly has RR-Merlin .. Greets
Beautiful sight of three iconic aircraft in formation.
The Vulcan is one of the coolest looking aircraft of all time.
It was cool but I'd have to say the Victor was the sexier of the two ,the valiant was butt ugly and the Vulcan was a mean scary purposeful looking beast.
@@pauldavidson6321 unjn
I personally quite liked the Valiant, but I agree the Victor and Vulcan were far superior.
Great to have captured that on camera. Not many folk on this planet today have seen more than one Lancaster flying at the same time and I bet less have seen two lanca and a Vulcan together! A bit special that film is. Thanks for sharing it.
The Vulcan is the E Type Jag of the skys
It leaked oil and the wiring was crap?
I joke. I know what you meant.
@@stewm1267 as ive been in the motor trade for 30 yrs this made me smile as your spot on
And all thanks to the marvelous Mr Roy Chadwick.
I had the pleasure of seeing these two gracious old ladys a few times over Lincolnshire , I swear the City of Lincoln Lancaster broke its heart, when the Canadian lady had to go home never to be seen together again.
"Sic Itur ad Astra" and "Per ardua ad astra". Humble remembrance of those who served, and thanks also..
that Vulcan Howl! surprisingly only a few years between the Lancaster's and Vulcan. sadly no longer able to fly ☹️😢😔
Never to be seen again, Never to be forgotten
Those wonderful old Lancasters have real character and class...and the sound of their engines is wonderful!
ok i'm impressed
(amazing that less than 2 decades separated these two design's service entries.)
Yes, and both designed by the same man!
When put to the test, the Brits can build some bloody top notch gear.
TILL EVERY TOM DICK AND ABDUL.. PINCHES THE IDEA..??!!
Thank you sir so do our american friends
@@paulhiggins6024 I'm sorry I'm not having that! Compare what the Americans were driving in the 50's/60's compared to what we had in Britain!
Cars with over 300hp, electric windows, electric seats, automatic transmissions, air conditioning, power folding top convertibles. Plus they were well built enough to sit at 70mph on the highway for hundreds of miles.
@@stuco81 Aviation was the cash cow in the 50's and 60's, not cars... UK had it there in the palm of her hand... bit different to now mind...
Thats why there was the show top geat :)
Wonderful. The beauties of the sky
The two most beautiful bombers we ever built.
Makes me proud to be British. 🇬🇧
It's like watching the old time war movies again ! Great video ! Thanks for sharing.
I'm originally from Ipswich, Suffolk now living in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. I saw the Lancaster leave from Hamilton, Ontario. You did a great job with this. Wish I could have been there.
Tears and goosebumps! I am fortunate to catch our Canadian Lanc flying on occasion....to see the only surviving sisters together.....heck, god bless the king!!!!
Tears too at the sound of the Marlins that I grew up with!
She flys over Hamilton and Burlington often. In the summer its a guarantee
Vera gets lots of exercise in the air... every Father's Day for the air show, every Rememberance Day for her old crew, and frequently for kickoff when the Hamilton Tiger Cats are playing.
lancaster and vulcan, a symphony!!
I was incredibly lucky to have seen these beautiful birds, even if they were on the telly. The Vulcan especially.
Marvellous video. I was there at Canwick for the Three Sisters fly past with a Lancaster navigator (service included the Peenemunde raid) and a Vulcan pilot. Like the planes, the people are a rare combination to whom we owe so much.
Remember sitting in my garden in Essex, hearing the sound of a Merlin engines in the distance, a few seconds later the Lancaster flew over seemingly very low, she passed and about 30 seconds later Lancaster number 2 went past, just incredible a slight probably never to be repeated
It's pretty rare, and after Vera blew an engine on that trip I doubt they'll let her come over to play ever again.
Thanks for sharing - wonderful as always. Very many years ago I had a flat in the same house as a V bomber Observer, who got me into the VIP Enclosure at Waddington when they scrambled THREE Vulcans simultaneously - my word, once seen (and heard!!) never forgotten.
That was utterly magnificent!
This reunion site will never been seen again . Good to see it happen before it was too late with the last Vulcan now grounded
Produced in times when Britain was great and leaders in many fields,let us get building our country great again
Exactly!.. When we just got on and done things like we should be doing now!
What a magical day. I will never forget the first sighting of the two together, two tiny identical dots in a small patch of blue sky. There was an awful lot of 'Avro dust' about that day, I tried to phone my husband to tell him I had seen them and could hardly speak. Thank you so much for posting this.
You can’t beat the sound of then engines make you get goosebumps the crackle when they shut down
Thank god for all them that flew them from all around the world in the war
These birds, make my hair stand on end, goosebumps and chills... touchdowns were awesomely as soft and gentle as a nudge from a kitten’s nose
With only two still flying, you better be able to land that smooth if you want to be the pilot of a museum display.
Think of Barnes Wallace witnessing the arrival of the surviving aircraft of 617 squadron, after the raids on the Rhur dams.
So many failed to return, and all of them very young men in their early twenties.
This very moving video could almost be a reenactment of their arrival home.
Such bravery, knowing their chances of a safe return were very poor.
We owe them so much.
Been in Lancaster at RAF CONINGSBY... BLOODY BRILLIANT!!!
I went too see the two Lancs and the Vulcan preform at Great Gransden air show with my late wife, less than a year later she had gone, thank you for bringing back the memory.
Beautiful British Engineering!
The only thing that Vulcan pilot is hearing is "Stalling. Stalling. Stalling."
I don't think so numnuts....
Not with those wings
Great videos That’s was a fantastic day, very cold for August but well worth spending most of the day standing in a field to see close up such a wonderful sight, also big thanks to the RAF guys who were taking cameras from us in the crowd to get better photos for from better positions.👍
Hilly runway to land on. Two rare and incredible planes, eight V12 engines here. Awesome!
Excellent quality footage of a once in a lifetime experience. Many thanks.
I saw one in Keflavic, Iceland in 1964. It was totally awesome.
Beautiful!
Absolutely Moving Legends of the Sky 💕😢 Gives me Goosebumps Watching 😯😮😢
Brilliant, thanks. I thought you were standing too close to the radar during the first part of the video. Both types of aircraft look beautiful, and sound even better.
Thank you so much, just down the road but couldn't get there. This is lovely.
The only thing crazier than this formation is the Canucks that flew the second Lancaster across the Atlantic to make this show possible.
Watched the flypast at Marham that day, when the vulcan pulled up vertically away from the lancasters, have on video, will post it soon
The first and last time I seen a Vulcan bomber was at an Air Show at Edwards AFB, California around the early 1980s. What an awesome aircraft. 👍
Beautiful video !! The best of British !!
Thanks for sharing, much appreciated!
I so wish I could have been there. Many thanks for the post.
My granddad built the lancaster in the and war and was involved with the vulcan after. Thanks for the video.
Just wonderful! Thank you!
Awesome footage....once in a lifetime.....
Awesome! Thanks
wow they're so big and heavy yet manage to compliment the air~great video
Thanks for posting.Great shots.And to think both aircraft were designed by the same person- Roy Chadwick!
Only the British can make such aircraft beautiful sounds ...
Awesome piece of footage. Thanks!
The "zip...zip...zip...zip..." sound you're getting is caused by RADAR sweeps (used to get it all the time filming on the carriers).
THANK YOU. I thought my speakers were going.
Thank You! I was wondering what the heck that was! LOL
Simply Wow!
I wish everyone could have had my early days living in Filton Bristol, where thousands of Vulcans were taking off, flying, and landing over a 10 year period, including testing the then new Concorde engine slung under its fuselage.
Now there's a sound to add to my in-built audio aircraft recognition brain !
Awesome vid,thank you
Thanks for sharing.
Fantastic quality footage!!! Thanks for sharing.
Torque Driver Thanks, your welcome.
If I had a time machine I'd go back to just after the war and give whoever decided to scrap these beautiful aircraft a good slapping! A wonderful piece of film; I had tears in my eyes watching.
I have several book on Lancasters and at least one shows lines of Lancs parked awaiting disposal at the end of the European war. They were a sad sight, parked covered with snow and missing their outer wing panels. There was no coherent plan for saving certain aircraft like the Century makers nor for keeping some of the brand new aircraft as flying displays. Everyone was War Weary and wanted to go home and get on with their lives, plus the UK was broke and would soon be divesting itself of its colonies.
There were 7,400 Lancs built, 9,000 if you count derivatives and modifications like the Avro Lincoln and Shackleton. But they were built as quickly and cheaply as possible and not intended to last. I think we're lucky to have two actually flying and another 15 "stuffed and mounted" in museums. Far sadder is that there are no flyable Avro Vulcans these days.
Bravie2001 - The problem was that post-war the UK was in severe fiscal debt, needed to rebuild out of the ravages of the bombing and the focus on the war economy. We could not afford to keep and upkeep the hardware of WWII - we needed much of the metal for civil purposes. The Americans were far better placed to keep quite a lot of their old stuff.
Just would love to have seen it..the sheer noise
BEAUTIFUL ♥
That was pretty awesome, can hardly wait for the VeRA DVD to be released !!!! Cheers.
Wonderful.
This is awesome. I video'd a Lancaster start up a couple months ago. Seeing it in the air would have been way better.
cool, thanks for sharing.
Magnificent.
Is it me or does that sound almost apocalyptic? The sound from those engines just put the fear of God up you.
Goose bumps
great video a never to be forgotten day i managed to get to waddington early wonderfull sound and sight.
Cheers. It will be a day, long remembered ! Glad I got to Waddington early.
Beautiful aircraft
Thank you Marsh Steam. Who can fail to be impressed by your footage? The roar of eight Merlins and the whine of four Olympus engines gets even the most reserved of fans off their seats. Outstanding footage which brings a lump to the throat. Thanks for posting :-)
rentaghost1975 Many thanks. I was very grateful to be there, on such a monumental occasion. Regards, Liam
Simply the best
Nice glass on the front of the camera and well managed - good stuff
Cracking footage of a unique event Liam. Hope to see the 2 Lancs at Southport next month, but sadly without the Vulcan. Thanks for sharing
Mike
Mike, hope they put on a show for you. They certainly sounded good yesterday !
Amazing 4 Olympuses and 8 Merlins sound
That Vulcan wing is so much like the Concorde wing, only built 16 years earlier
with the grounding of XH558 due to air frame hours, technically she's still airworthy as she was so well built, legally she is not, there will never be an opportunity to have this happen again. :-(
A massive thank you to Marsh Steam Videos... Got goosebumps as soon as I heard those Rolls Royce Merlins... Kelly, you should a sense of National Pride, if it weren't for those graceful old girls (Avro Lancasters) you might well be speaking German... Yes, I get your point, but it wasn't the English that started these wars... We (with a little help from our friends) DAMN WELL FINISHED them though...
+Craig Mager You're very welcome. Glad you enjoyed it.
+soaringtractor Do your research before ranting about something you know nothing about... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avro_Lancaster
soaringtractor Boreing tractor never fails to entertain, so witty!
that was awesome! What an honor!
Respect
Amazing
I love the ugly sisters, but as a brat, brought up with Frightenings an V bombers, The Vulcan does to me what the Lancs did to my Dad. Thanks for showing 20 year gap in British aviation history!
That's the best vid of the three aircraft that I have seen ---thank you for posting ----I was stood at Tattershall castle roof and saw them all the way from Lincoln ---what a sight to be remembered . Unfortunately set my camcorder wrong and overexposed the shot . The radar is a pain with external mike.
i remember this day. i went to Frampton marsh near Boston and watched them fly along the Hobhole drain along the Haven river and out over the Wash. i took a video but it was windy at the marsh and the sound is badly affected but i still watch it now and then. great sight to see. sadly never to happen again.
Always a pleasure to see a Vulcan, especially accompanied by its older siblings, or perhaps, parents(I didn't want to get to personal). Most family reunions are celebrated with a big party, this family probably found a nice desolate terrain and put a bunch of giant holes in it.
Liam great job you did, would liked to have been there myself,
I was there on the day at Waddington......to hear the Merlins fire up followed by the Vulcan's Olympus was increadible....sadly never to be repeated,,
Three beautiful ladies.
Vera and Thumper 💕💕💕💕
8 Merlins & 4 Olympus. Never again to be heard together. The sound is potent, highly symbollic. Victory to the Allied nations, to freedom and to democracy. Never forget the sacrifices.
two sounds i will never forget
