I have been lucky enough to witness many take offs at RAF Waddington when my brother was a Navigator on Vulcans and very proud I was to! He was the Navigator on the famous picture of a Vulcan over Niagara Falls . They had been to the Toronto Air Show . My brother actually preferred flying the Canberra Bomber!
It would cost insane amounts for the rectifications. Take what it cost to put XH558 back into the air as a starting point, and then double or triple it because this aircraft has not been in flightworthy condition for a lot longer. Then add inflation. It would never be cost justified, XH558 flew only 8 years ago and would be a much better starting point were all the restrictions to magically disappear.
Are you ever planning to do a fast taxi run where you get the nose wheel up. I think your team for keeping history alive is incredible thank you
The aircraft is looking good. Thank you to all involved.
Brilliant guys well done to all of you for keeping our favourite Vulcan active!!
I was lucky enough to grow up near RAF St Athan at the local airport there was a Vulcan in its museum I will try and find out which one.
stunning!

When is the next one? I'd love to see this.
16 September this year.
@@richardclarkson3016 Fantastic, I’ll get a ticket when they become available. Thanks.
Can one assume that absent the imposed restrictions, this aircraft could be brought up to airworthy condition ?

Would be great to have subtitles. Otherwise this is an amazing video. Even though I'm a lifelong pacifist, I'm proud to be a member. 😃
