Looked like a missed approach to me. He was coming in well short, so wound up the engines for go around. It took a few seconds from applying power to getting the increased thrust and being able to climb away. He was still descending as the engines wound up and he began to climb very low to the ground and still short of the threshold.
Never tire of seeing xh558 used to work at robinhood doing security used to see it everyday walk around it and under it just amazing,sadly sat outside now to the elements
My dad was in the RAF Regiment and was in Tengah during The Malay Incident. He was on a Bofor at the end of the runway (or out recovering downed pilots) and said the Vulcans and Lightnings used to do this and blow them all off the gun emplacement.
The thing with the older generation engines from the 50s and 60s is that if you just pinned the throttle you'd flood the engine with fuel and it would stall. So the way to throttle up was slowly increasing the throttles. This makes it even better in this clip with the slow spool up for impending hearing loss.
This was an arrival day missed approach, not done on purpose as many seem to think. Check the air brakes on top of the wings; they're out in the landing configuration. When the Vulcan did a flypast, touch and go etc, they're closed. You can also see his sink rate was far too high to get across the threshold let alone hit the aiming point.
I disagree, it was most definitely on purpose. Pilots very rarely accidentally initiate a go around without meaning to. You're right about the reason they deliberately made a go-round though, looks to me like they would likely have touched down right around where the camera is had they let that continue. But yes, a botched approach will make you very purposefully initiate what we see in the video.
@@lelsewherelelsewhere9435 I'd suggest he likely wasn't even aware of them. Visibility below the nose isn't good in most aircraft that size because.... well the nose gets in the way. Out at a distance you'd see, but people are going to be the size of ants at that distance.in close you could sit up and lean forward to try and see over the nose, but why would you, especially in the late phases of landing when you're completely focused on the runway and making sure you're going to touchdown in the spot you want too. Nah, they were coming up short of the touchdown point so took it around for another go, it's not too uncommon, there's alot of factors at play and sometimes pilots misjudge or get caught out by unexpected changes, like a gust of wind or a down draft. There trained to do exactly what these pilots did if something isn't going to plan. Abort the landing, get the power on, climb to a safe altitude and come back for another attempt, it's just more impressive than the average when it involves a Vulcan :)
I agree it was most likely a missed approach. The aircraft was in landing config. Landing lights on, gear down, and on a glide slope. You see the pilot make an adjustment and then decide to go around as he was coming in short of the runway by a few hundred yards. The aircraft was still descending seconds after applying full power. The aircraft was well short of the runway and still not making enough power to climb. When it did begin to climb it was still short and very low. Seconds from a belly flop. There might be an incident report.
I've said this before. I don't think he'd intended to go around. HE WAS SHORT! He had to go around. That fire up cost thousands of pounds, and no charity would waste such money. Maybe he caught a crosswind, who knows. This used to happen quite regularly to Nimrods at St Mawgan, unscheduled go-arounds due to crosswind downdraft. They overcame it by having all aircraft land from the north where it was much less likely.
Pretty sure he did intend to go around. It's pretty hard to push the throttles up accidentally.... And.... what even is an unscheduled go-around?? That describes literally every go-around, you think pilots are planning to have unstable approaches ahead of time, runway incursions, etc ahead of time? No, a go-around is purely reactionary. If you plan it ahead of time it's a low approach, not a go-around.
@@Streaky100001 If it's a low approach it's not a go around? Bollocks. He was in landing config with landing lights on and gear down, missed the glide slope and was coming in short. He applied full power well before the aircraft began climbing away very close to the ground, but short of the runway, i.e., full power was applied, but the aircraft was still descending very low due to not making enough power to climb. He was very close to the ground when the engine made enough power to climb. That's not something you do for a party trick, because it's one of the most dangerous situations an aircraft can be in. It was a go around due to a missed approach, i.e., low approach as you call it. That pilot's heart would have been pumping like crazy. If the pilot had applied full power a few seconds later than was done, the aircraft may have impacted before the runway threshold that it was still some distance from.
@@aquilarossa5191 I never said this was a low approach. What I said was that all go around by definition are unscheduled. It's a reaction to something, not the original intention. If the original intention is to descend towards the runway as if landing, then power up and climb away, that maneuver is known as a low approach. It absolutely does happen, but is if course planned ahead, and they're not going to get low enough for it to be dangerous.
Glad your back Buddy , thought we'd lost you ! Remember Farnborough as a kid and being in this situation , how LOUD IS IT GOING TO GET , people not knowing what to do - should I run away (where ?) and as it turns my insides are being turned to Jelly by the thunder that goes right through . AWESOME is the only word that comes close . One of my favourite vids .
As soon as you heard the engines spooling back up you knew your ears were gone ahahaha
God damn....
It's 2024 and this video is still being talked about
Part of me thinks he did that deliberately….

You lucky buggers 😂
Those poor sheep!!!
Listen to the howl of that plane
You might want to cover your ears
I have seen nine vulcans take off in threes,3 squadrons, that was

Who filmed this ? Shakin` Stephen`s ? Nice to do a missed approach for the fans.

Vulcan, Spitfire, Lancaster, Hurricane, Concorde, (French helped a bit) we knew how to build planes
even in stable flight this Jet looks like it going to fall out of thei sky at any moment lmao.

Still my favourite vulcan video on youtube. Well done Jodie Winter
This is the ONLY video that comes close to capturing this experience.
Cool. Thanks
Great video
One of the best videos of all time!
Practice approach

Damn talk about an entrance! Holy Shiyat! 😂
This video made me take a sudden intake of breath and gave me goosebumps!
Yeah that sink was a bit excessive. You're like he powered up when he did as a second or two too late and you'd have been Vulcan soup!
Giving it Full beans! Legendary!
This plane should still be flying come on we can keep spitfires in the air why not this master piece.
There must have been more than sheep shit in the field that day
My favourite Vulcan howl ...EVER!!!
The best howl out there.
That thing shook the ground! I'm a grown up with a daughter and still that fucking scares me!
What a fantastic video
Keep on coming back to this. The sound of power!
Best video Ever!!!!
This is THE Vulcan video. Everything about it is perfect, from the spooked sheep to the most spine-chilling howl and roar I've seen on any recording.
One of the sheep actually died of fright. XH558 has carried a sheep's head on the side ever since...
Total agree

I think the people messed him up. He didn't want to risk landing on them!

The best video of this amazing piece of history anyone could ever find.
If you listen to this through a sound bar at 50% volume it’s sounds like you were there 🤣
Pretty sad some people have re-uploaded this excellent video without credit
Fucking yes!!!!
Quite possibly the greatest TH-cam video ever! I never tire of watching this!
starting the Video and reading comments.. saw yours was like hmmm rly ? :/ but then the plane came.... and yes it is the greatest video on TH-cam :D
100% the best video mate! Used to go see her every year at Leuchars Airshow. It’s embarrassing missing a bloody plane this much. What a machine!
Nice
Probably the best TH-cam vid ever 😍
Wow! Awesome.

By far my favourite video on TH-cam. Gutted we'll never get to experience her this way again
I love how still you kept that camera.
Glad your back Buddy , thought we'd lost you ! Remember Farnborough as a kid and being in this situation , how LOUD IS IT GOING TO GET , people not knowing what to do - should I run away (where ?) and as it turns my insides are being turned to Jelly by the thunder that goes right through . AWESOME is the only word that comes close . One of my favourite vids .
British engineering, told the Partner back in the day they made them functional, beautiful and sound amazing.
