    First five seconds earns a like...just for that Vulcan howl!🙂👍

      Nothing beats the howl.

      ​@AviationRepublic Nod...instantly recognizable.. and always thrilling to hear 🙂
      Aa little Vulcan trivia ...Gerry Anderson's sound team used recordings of the Vulcan for some vehicles in their shows..including Supercar and Thunderbird 2...remixed in some cases but you can still tell. I don't think they ever used the howl tho...probably too recognizable 🙂

    It appears that I am the first to view this piece of cinema, so I therefore must leave a comment describing my achievement.

      Of course they wouldn't ditch a Real Vulcan on the Bahamas Bank..... I remember that movie well. I saw it when I was about 8. Since then I've dived Thunderball Cave at Staniel Cay, Exuma, The Bahamas. Club Thunderball is located there and has a lot of photographs of the production of that movie.
      Of course I built a model in of the Vulcan. A Wicked Looking Warplane! Like the B-52, it has a look that says: "I Mean Business." We Americans remember Vulcans breaching our air defenses, during exercises, on more than one occasion. NORAD was not expecting that and they did not like it one bit.

      The model used in the film was smaller but quite accurate, and also one of my favourite movies. 😎🕊

    I do wonder how the avro 707 test bed aircraft would have behaved at a high angle of attack trials with the dorsal air intakes. I would have expected air flow disruption to cause flameouts. 😮

      Yes, there where issues with the dorsal air intake from what i read.

    For ten minutes, we have not seen the advertised Lincoln. All we have seen is the Shackleton Mk 1, and some fussy Lancaster footage.

    How different the 50s would have been, if the British had been able to to tell the USSR and the USA to F off. Then keept the British jet engine tech to themselves.

      Hmm we gave it all away, the jet engine was only the start, we then binned great British tech for cheaper non working US stuff!
      The Tornado used much tech from TSR2 and if we had built that I'm sure it would still be in service now as the B52 is, and what sort of jobs would it do upgraded over the years. 🕊🤔
