The alternator on number 2 engine has been playing up so it was swapped out. This necessitated an engine start of No.2 to check the alternator was working at full load. After the engine test the problem still existed but the team thinks there may be a faulty breaker in the circuit. Troubleshooting continues.
Check out xm655.com/ for details of upcoming events and how you can support the team.
In 1968 I was stationed at Hickam AFB, Honolulu, Hawaii. Two Vulcans stopped by on their way to Southeast Asia. I spent an eight hour shift guarding them and I even took a photo. I still have that picture. Thanks for posting this video, nice memories.
You’re welcome. I also uploaded another video of the continuing struggles to resolve the problem.
This is fantastic great to see all the volunteers keeping this amazing aircraft ticking over, the Vulcan could roll out of a factory today and still look modern quite an achievement by Avro kudos to all involved you should be proud
These are stunning looking aircraft from a time when Britain and British technology led the world. Power to the volunteers who keep them running.
absolutely - a dedicated bunch of volunteers
yep, and now look what our country has become. disgraceful.

Stop being so defeatist. We have only of the most high tech and highly honed militaries in the world.
@@spikeypineapple552 not being a defeatest, quite the opposite, i worry that our crappy government doesn't support our military like they did back in the day. we have more imigrants than soldiers......
She’s such a beautiful aircraft and makes such a wonderful noise
Absolutely. Timeless!
I can’t believe I saw this fantastic plane here in the US . If I recall this Bomber was on take off in 1977 . Thanks for showing it
Nice to hear turbines, good to see young blood interested working with on such a magnificent machine that will be a memory for life and a big tick in the logbook of life. . I remember the Vulcans in white livery taking off in threes on patrol in the 60's. Fastest cold start up of any bomber.
still impressive even today when it did a QRA Mass Start
@@MrSteve.i What is amazing to me is the ability to cold-start the turbines and be wheels off in two minutes. You know that turbines are at times temperamental and to equip Vulcan with Rapid start and not find your HP disc all over the apron from over fuelling meant that some fine engineering and maintenance was is in place.
Good to see young faces taking an interest, if you haven't already issue a simple log book for them to work through it will give extra encouragement and we need them to learn. Wish I was nearer to you.
Regards ex Navy
Conflicted emotions seeing her grounded yet shes still loved and ran such a beautiful thing! Nice one chaps thankyou for caring
it's wonderful to be able to video it and the team at XM655.COM do an incredible job
Great to see people involved to keep these old aircrafts in some form of running condition
also a great way to teach skills to a new generation
Would love to see the Vulcan flying again.Thankyou for all the work by commited People.
Now that would be very cool !!!
Unfortunately that will never again happen, as there no longer exists a technical authority to back airworthiness certification.
@@oliabid-price4517 the technical authority is there it was a issue with maintaining the engines from rolls royce
Even if there was technical authority the runway at Wellesbourne is too short and there’s a problem with the drains being able to take the weight of the Vulcan
@@MrSteve.i I have a few questions; 1. So how did the aircraft end up there if the runway couldn't support it? 2. What requirements does the Government require to allow it to fly again?
Magnificent aircraft, I have many fond memories of watching her fly over my house at Farnborough during the various airshows, and also of the awesome Vulcan Howl.
First time I saw a Vulcan fly was a Prestwick air show many years ago
@@MrSteve.i My first was at Yeovilton in 1970 something - the days when they were still allowed to overfly the crowd. It approached from behind us, just as the Phantoms cleared the field so no-one was looking at it - as it came overhead it climbed at 45 degrees and pushed those turbojets to the gate - every organ in your body just vibrated with the noise. Epic and of course, never to be repeated sadly.
absolutely. I've seen them display many times over the years, always an incredible show
I was at 'Monsters Of Rock' in 1991 when XM655 flew overhead, they drowned out the band that was playing, (Black Crows I think), A magnificent sight!
@@uncledodge9396 This seems unlikely as it appears XM655 last flew in 1984.
@mattb5427 you are correct, it was XH558 that I saw.
that would have been a sight to see
Did you see Slayer?
Great to see she is still a live aircraft. :)
very lucky to have this living breathing example close to me.
Avro (if it still exists) have every right to be extremely proud of the Vulcan. Marvellous!👏👍
an iconic aircraft
Sadly Avro no longer exists. I worked at the factory ( Woodford, Cheshire) which built these fantastic machines, just like the Lancaster bombers and Nimrods. However the original pre-war factory was demolished back in 2015 and is now a housing estate. Another piece of our remarkable Aviation history gone forever.
Amazing video, congrats to all the lads that keep her going.
I climbed aboard XM655 when it was a static display at EMA in 1979 - they are incredibly small and cramped inside so hats off to all that flew them! Unfortunately I don't believe that XM655 can ever fly again as the airframe is now out of hours. Nice video to watch and look forward to some taxi runs!
Brilliant work lads, really great to see.
Well its good to see a Valcan still getting some attention... I think it was XM655 or other that used to sit on the apron, just outside my office window on 55Sqn as it did a few spins around the base prior to an airshows... epic test flights eh... had to run to the small blister hanger to close Doors/windows as Valcan span out of start-up pan, it would inflate the hanger if doors open... ha, the good old days, eh... fond memorise of good resourceful Tug W, ciao Doug/Pete
I remember in 1967, as a boy living at RAF St Athan, that me & my mates were held up from crossing the end of the runway by the red lights but we couldn't see any approaching planes so after a while we dumped our bikes in the grass beside the runway and sat down to await developments. Out of the distant sky came at least four Vulcans which in turn touched down with their main landing gear & then immediately piled on full power to take off again, turning our insides to jelly in the process. The noise was just brutal, particularly the howl on take off. For us, Vulcans were commonplace but we'd never seen more than one at a time on the runway before. It was just an irritating delay in our plan to go swimming at East Camp but now I see it as a privilege
that would have been an awesome thing to see. Sounds like you're in a pretty elite club
Awesome to see/hear and oldie still breathing!!
still sounds mightily impressive
It's a BAD habit to leave in inlet plugs when you have bleed air on the plane. You never know if a starter control valve will malfunction. It's a habit that was taught to me working on C130s and C17s, pull ALL the plugs if bleed air is on the plane.
Sounds like a top tip
Absolutely; XH558 suffered an incident where several sacks of desiccant were left in the inlet duct when it was started, destroying a pair of 202s
@roberthale8407 I was having thoughts about that as well... from working the same two acft, as well as other covers on those two and other afct I have/do work!!
Also a FOD Observer.
Thank you for your Service Sir 🇺🇸
Sounds like your the sort of person the FAA needs urgently
Always thought it would be amazing if a company like Scaled Composites would build a Vulcan using modern materials. Could be reduced size and a couple of engines but a delta wing aircraft look a like would be fantastic.
To me the Vulcan is, together with the Hawker Hunter, one of the most beautiful aircraft ever designed.
And it always surprises me to see such a massive plane running on such tiny wheels 🤣🤣
Lovely to witness yet Another Reincarnation of Aviation Heritage.
Not familiar with XM 655 Though Aware of Location now!
GOOD LUCK!,She's a BEAUTY.
Looking forward to ALL 4 Engines producing that Discinctive HOWL ❤️

WOW,That was a QUICK Response!
WELL DONE LAD'S!
I've only recently joined XL426 As a Volunteer.

I worked on H-53's in the late 70's. Our engine plugs had a long flag that would dangle down because the plug was hiden by the air filter system (EAPS). When the pilot cycled the EAPS doors open, I saw red inside and knew a plug was still in. Someone had tucked the flag into the EAPS to hide the plug (sabotage). Everyone ate kwap that day because there were 3 opportunities to catch it and no one did.
Tack!
thank you very much - glad you enjoyed the video
The Vulcan has to be the most attractive bomber in the world !!! It resembles a flying dragon out of medieval mythology !!!!!!!!😊😊😊
The last time I worked on a Vulcan, it was white...anti-flash livery...and the Russian Bear was growling....and the Vulcan was a common sight over parts of the UK...and it carried the Blue Steel missile; just in case.
not on your own, I remember using a wire brush on a blue steel at Waddington, along with the weeks "key duty" during my first week after arrival!! One way to find you way around the engineering hanger!!
Serious times so your work on the Vulcan's was incredibly important being our front line of defence. The skies over Lincolnshire in the 60's always had a Vulcan doing its stuff.
I remember as a lad seeing three white Vulcans howling in a steep climb leaving twelve grey lines of exhaust. Truly amazing technology as was the Victor.
We lived opposite "Manby" aerodrome where occasionally a Vulcan would touch and go to annoy the Provost's. I used to play Pilot on the scraped Meteor and Varsity. Best
@WOFFY-qc9te hello "woffy", thank you for your reply. Do you remember the "vintage pair" being a vampire and a meteor aircraft? I worked on them, wonderful experience. Ohh, walking around the airfield perimeter near the fence on 12 hour shift (2hrs on and 2 hrs off) with a pick axe handle, to stop the rushians!! Or, on foggy days walking down the runway looking for "foreign objects" (called a fod plod) with a bass broom and shovel! Such are memories made of this.
@@johnpritchard2772 John how nice to hear you recollections.. Dad rented the farm opposite Manby Aerodrome on the way to Grimoldby (where I bought Humbugs) .around 1966 aged 8. At the end of the runway was the fire training ground and one Gloster Meteor and a larger aircraft which in my memory was a Varsity ?. They were intact and not damage, the Meteor with the T tail from a distance looked like an aircraft was stuck vertical with its nose in the ground.
Anyway I remember the cockpit and the yellow and black stripes around the seat and a control marker "Ejector prime". I never touch any thing near that but was guilty of flipping some switches and moving the stick. The trouble was I could not see out of the window. Getting in was a phaf until I discovered the foot holes would flip in. I cant remember how I got the canopy open or even if it was there.
I don't recall the Vampire being there, that had twin booms a rather spectacular machine along with many others of the time sadly short lived do to use creating a special relationship which ultimately destroyed our aircraft industry and the AVRO Rocket development interestingly autogenous pressurisation is used today by X.
Russian threat at that time was in the minds of young and old and the RAF were very busy. Funny how comments bring back memories I just had an image of the large Neon beacon in a fog, I din't think Manby had one so it may have been Stanton ? it was very bright.
You mention Fod walk, and 12 hour shifts so I conclude you have a few more miles on the clock than I. Manby runway was huge to a young boy and I would cycle down the centreline watching the white lines flash by. Thinking about it I was never challenged so I must have had the good sense to do that when things were quiet. Well you never spotted me carrying a pick axe handle I am glad you didn't
There was a few weeks when the airfield was very busy, something was going on with Ivan and six Canberra were constantly in and out. The Provost did their training which at times was looking to end badly but was a low high speed pass. I don't recall seeing many Metero's flying but the buggers made a god awful screech starting up. It was a good day when the EE Lighting was putting on a show, such a fine machine and very capable at embarrassing the USAF who still don't like flying below 1000 ft.
Oops please indulge another memory there fun, My Grandmother and former owner of a watchmakers was telling me (aged 10 and into fiddling with clock, one I have just got going agin) about her shop (circa 1940) and she spoke about this chap that brought in dials and instruments for repair. I listened intently and she said young Frank would come in and sit with the chap in the back with a cup of tea fixing these dials. Young Frank ? yes Whittle the chap who fixes engines.
Her shop was near Powerjets, of course at that time Whittle would not have spoken of his work as the Air Ministry were gagging him and a lot of his work was off the cuff hush hush. Now it gets better, my Uncle Charles was rather well off and I would visit Aunt in their apartments in Bournemouth.
To keep a young lad quiet whilst waiting for Space Patrol to come on the black and whit set I was shown big blue drawings of aeroplanes, some I was latter told scribbled on. There was also some Balsa models on his desk which I would fly around the room. Many years later I was told Uncle Charles was the financial director of Supermarine and I was scribbling on his collection of Mitchell's drawings !. The Balsa models were apparently used for wind tunnel tests.
Sorry gone off one. I am sure you have a good few stories, getting back on track I am pleased this team are keeping the Vulcan alive and I hope it encourages the youngsters to learn arts and skill which will never be taught again. I was fortunate to be part of Marine restoration project and those were happy times working amongst wiser men.
I am West side now Wirral far from Lincolnshire but if I come across any Russians I will call on you to bring your Brass broom and axe, I feel much safer now but if some day you see an old guy peddling like fury down a runway please give me a pass. My very best to you and I hope my drift down memory lane encourages others to share their stories.
KInd Regards

KInd Regards YT is playing up so this may be duplicated.
If I won the euro lottery I’d get this back up in the air forever
Would love to see this old bird take to the skies again!
Great to see. Two comments. Filming from the correct ie port side of the aircraft at start up would have been nice. And a comment on how the alternator performed - the whole point of this exercise - why didn't you at least let us know.
Thanks for the feedback. I agree with your point about the result. There’s no point filming from the port side at startup though as there’s nothing to see. No visible signs of startup but filming from the side I did, you get to see the crew action.
Nowt like a Vulcan firing up....Great job lads.
awesome sounding piece of kit
Good Steering by Tug Driver reversing
Absolutely. Looks like a good workout too
I saw a Vulcan flying, 1973, ...in Brazil!
C'est superbe. Et ces moteurs sont vraiment incroyables, leur son est comme une mélodie.
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it
Got to love the Vulcan, saw it fly at many air-shows. Used to pull up at the end of the Runway with a great big Howl, then at a suitable height did what I can only describe as a stall turn and came back down the runway - incredible sight and sound to see and actually feel in the pit of your stomach!
Pity there isn't an associated video from inside the cockpit intercut with the video from outside. Please Please Please!!!!!!
I'll talk to the team and see if that's an option as we're now getting some traction with the videos
@@MrSteve.i It might mean the video editing will get a little tedious, but perhaps for the more interesting parts you could just play both video's next to one another in the same UA-cam window?
"a short taxi isn't out of the question"
*Just a liiiitle **-push-** PULL*
What a BIG beauty. Dana
Its wonderful to see how many people are dedicated to preserving 655. Having been a longtime supporter of VTTS and XH558's preservation Im disappointed by their seeming unintrest in preserving 558 or that Canberra they have anymore.
take a pop along to wellesbourne and meet the team
Gotta get these birds back in the air. Great work people!
Hopefully it will fly again one day! Yeah i know but one can certainly dream
Great video keep up the great work guys 🇬🇧👍👏
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it
Superb, keep the old girl in good order.
my god this is beauty, just amazing.
stunning machine
Best timed notification bell I've ever seen 😂😂😂
just saw what you mean - wish i could say it was planned 😂
London, Ont. air show, this beast of a plane busting my 10yr old eardrums when the afterburners kick in.
Hated it then, respect it now.
incredible piece of kit
Beautiful aircraft
just a stunning piece of engineering
Great video thanks 👍
Glad you enjoyed it
What a beautiful but sinister looking plane, and huge! Clean lines and so obviously expertly designed to be aerodynamically efficient. It sure makes a B-52H look like an ugly duckling.
A time when British engineering was at the forefront.things were designed by people using paper and wearing suits and smoking a pipe.and it's still alive today thanks to those who believe in preservation and showing future generations what we can achieve.
now that's a screwdriver.
Huge aircraft but tiny wheels.
This may be a point of view that some will not understand but I’ve never really understood the point in keeping an aircraft in “taxiable” condition. Aircraft are born to fly and I understand that the Vulcans will never fly again, this particular one according to Wikipedia hasn’t flown since 1984. So yeah preserve it so people can enjoy seeing it, maintain it cosmetically so it doesn’t deteriorate. But why spend the money so that it can just taxi on the ground? It’s never going to do again what it was made to do so the next best thing is to just keep it looking good for future generations to see.
@@kalten001 Steam engines won't be used ever again but make for a great demonstration. River Don engine in Sheffield, Kempton steam museum engines in west London, Astley green steam engine near Manchester, Bancroft steam museum engine in Lancashire. They are all ran on low steam pressure for demonstration purposes and it's super exciting. If you haven't maintained a machine, there's no way you know the feelings these people experience.
I sure hope it isn't the pilot running donuts in the tow buggy! LOL For my next trick Rockey hold my beer!
Nope, it's not the pilot :-)
what a plane - absolutely awesome, stunning ....they dont make planes like this anymore.....
absolutely
Nice Video thanks, one question:How much money did this little test cost you? and how much fuel does it used?
not sure if I'm honest. you would be better directing the question to the team at xm655.com but I don't think it's a massive amount for a quick spin up of a single engine
I can't believe the Vulcan actually flew.
borne to fly.....
Whats the little jet engine on the trolly used for?
It’s basically a powerful compressor to supply air to start spinning up the engines
Air Start Trolley
It looks very much like a Blackburn Palouste, which were built under license from Turbomeca. Bristol Siddeley took over manufacturing and support from Blackburn in 1959/60 I think.
Just a Sophisticated Compressor, some variants were used for Helicopters Fleet Air Arm on Aircraft Carriers
I love the Vulcan, but is it just me, or do those wheels look way too small to support this size of jet ?
kinda strange how small the wheels are on the main landing gear.
Sweet, is it going to be flyable? I love Avro products, although I am partial to the CF-105. Cheers from the Great White North.
it will never fly again for a host of reasons unfortunately
Shame we couldn't hear No.2 engine fire up. Would have been excellent to capture this from the port side. The ground start unit sadly drowns it out.
So, I love that this beast is being kept alive. But why go to the expense of an engine run to check the alternator if the aircraft is never going to fly? Does it do airshow day taxi runs and the alternator is a go/no go item for that?
I think the rationale of the team is to keep on restoring it as much as they can and while it will never fly again it's a shared passion of the team to keep it in as good ordr as possible
and also....
Why not, it's a small reward for all the hard work the team puts in, to hear it spin up occasionally.
@@MrSteve.i I mean, I'm not saying it should be done!
If they're happy to use the Jet-A then, why not indeed! I'm all for it.
Love It and thankyou.
You're very welcome
@2:55 Now that's what I call a screwdriver.
apparently size is not everything, it's what you do with it....
@ I have one and never thought why it was made that way until I used Dzuse fasteners.
Also the steel smells lovely !
@ I hate to admit it but I have a smaller version of yours given to me as a child. All I need now is a Vulcan.
@@jonka1 Me two, belonged to Granddad. Just the thing for Dzuse fasteners to replace plastic buttons. In fact I think I will do that on the Lexus engine covers. Enjoy your screwdriver
@WOFFY-qc9te :)
He always runs while others walk
He acts while other men just talk
He looks at this world and wants it all
So he strikes like Thunderball
He knows the meaning of success
His needs are more, so he gives less
They call him the winner who takes all
And he strikes like Thunderball
Any woman he wants, he'll get
He will break any heart without regret
His days of asking are all gone
His fight goes on and on and on
But he thinks that the fight is worth it all
So he strikes like Thunderball
Why did you leave the inlet plugs in the starboard inlet? Surely that's asking for trouble?
There is no requirement to take them out on the starboard inlet if just running port engines. Each engine is fed individually from the air start supply via the engine air valve which is opened just before the engine starting sequence is commenced. The engine air valve is closed once the starting sequence is complete.
I once worked at Bruntingthorpe for a few weeks , there was a vulcan in the hangers there , it was , i think in the process of being restored , it looked a mess , bits of it everywhere, did it ever fly again ?.....what became of it
If you Google XH558 you'll find enough info on that aircraft to kill a horse!
No idea I’m afraid. Anyone got any info
How many years ago was that? XH558 was based @ Bruntingthorpe and did get restored by The Vulcan to the Sky Trust. It flew again on the 18th of October 2007 until it's last flight on the 28th of October 2015.
It's ALIVE!! 😂😂😂
she's a beast
You lost me when the guy was turning circles in the truck my friends
how so ?
That's the biggest screw driver I have ever seen!
it's not just the size, it's how you use it, apparently
So did the snag with the #2 alternator get cleared?
unfortunately not - seems like it might be an issue with a circuit breaker. work in progress
What is the APU off?
Fairly sure that's a Palouste, It was always a ground starter gas generator, rather than an APU; there was an APU derivative, the Artouste.
@@cambridgemart2075 Thanks for the info!
Wheel hubs a bit squeaky 😮
that was probably the knees of the crew
As far as I'm aware engines are numbered sequentially port to starboard. Therefore you ran #1 not #2 engine. Comment?
OK - queue embarrassment. It's a quad jet not a twin. Inboard port engine #2. 😂
Sounds like the hand brake was left on
more like a bunch of dodgy knees and hips :-)
No images from inside de cockpit? Too bad!
look at the other Vulcan videos, the first one has some in cockpit
@MrSteve.i , Tks. Will do. Greetings from Rio.
Rio - nice to see the audience base is diverse !

Maybe I could start up a Vulcan jet fumes "Merch section" as a fund raiser for the charity :-)
Do them a car air fresheners
love it, great idea
