Amazingly sleek, futuristic-looking aircraft. Especially when you consider that 10 years earlier the best aircraft we had were the likes of the De Havilland Vampire & Gloster Meteor. Am I right in thinking the Delta had a Concorde-style drop nose (about 10 years before the Concorde)? Would love to see a cleaned-up / remastered version of this footage.

Wow - I had no idea the Victor was capable of doing manouevres like that! Quite mind-boggling. Incredible skill by the pilot to pull that off. Its one thing to throw a small, nimble fighter around, but to do it in huge bomber...just amazing!

Its absolutely insane to watch a giant strategic nuclear bomber doing fighter-style aerobatics...and howling like a vengeful god. Nothing like the Vulcan before or since. Truly one of a kind. Massive respect to the crews who flew them. And that low-level pass over the Victor on the runway...the Red Arrows would've been proud of that.

The first time I saw this plane was on news footage from the Falklands War.

I knew it was going to go just fine of course but watching that still made me nervous. Quite an amazing thing to see.

Thats ridiculous,it really was a very manoeuvrable aircraft.Its a pity there are non flying today they were a real crowd favourite.

im so glad i got to see them flying, amazing display

I wish America had licensed the Vulcan and had them still flying instead of the B-52. It is one of the most beautiful aircraft ever. B-52 is just plain ugly in comparison.

Stunning display, thanks for sharing

Scariest loudest most magnificent jet i ever saw. It loomed up suddenly like a dragon when I was a kid and both terrified and fascinated me. The Brits do make them beautiful.

How did we go from having world beating aviation industry to having nothing now?

Never knew there was an r in take off lol.the Vulcan did not need commentary

I got to see it at an airshow in CA and it was amazing. So damn loud too.

An era when air displays were worth watching or going to see. Mostly clinical and boring now, I don’t go anymore.

Jolly good show, chaps.

Great footage thanks for sharing . The last of the victor pilots also flew the Vulcan in display. So tanker with the victor mon to fri then Vulcan displays at the weekend. As a tanker it struggled to go slow enough for the refuelling aircraft to keep up ! I had the privilege to fly the Sim at Marham whilst working there although I did land with various fires and a collapsed undercarriage.

The days the RAF had proper and numerous aircraft

Seen the displays from RAF Waddington last one 2014 . Absolutely magnificent aircraft . Shame she's grounded indefinitely.

Maneuver 1 was a steep turn. Maneuver 2 was a 1/2 Cuban eight (5/8 loop and 1/2 roll from inverted to upright flight and pull to level). Maneuver 3 was a Barrel Roll.

Back when Britain still made its own jet aircraft

I've been lucky enough to work with both the Vulcan and the Victor. This is awesome stuff, many thanks for sharing.

I was flying a Piper Warrior from the RAF Lakenheath Aero Club, VFR, spring 1992.. suddenly, saw a Vulcan streak by me. A little wing waggle, and it was gone. Vulcan--unforgettable.

UN - BEE - LIEEVABLE. That was in 1958. The Ministry of Namby-Pamby would never allow such a demonstration of what's possible today with good engineering and skill.

I seen the valcan scramble never can't belive it barole role twice impressive wow

@TheCodMineMan if they ever introduce the Vulcan to war thunder.

Habría sido fantástico que los Vickers VC-10 siguieran volando con nuevos fabricados y motorizados con los Rolls-Royce RB-211. Sus rugidos hubieran sonado fuertes sin molestia para los oídos. Los motores originales eran turborreactores muy ruidosos. 👍🏻

Built to vaporise Russian cities from ten miles up, Avro ‘accidentally’ built the best low level display aircraft, EVER.

Very interesting to hear the comment about "last manned fighter ... ". So 1958 they were thinking about this. 2025 and ... it's still a question!

A time when UK was still suffering hardship after WW2 and spending a very high proportion of its GDP on defence paying off its debts. The country and its people were worth fighting for. Many would struggle to say that now.

Awesome "bird" !!!

I LOVE THE VULCAN AT FIRST SIGHT. I DO THINK THE VULCAN WAS (AND STILL IS) AHEAD OF OUR TIME. I LOVE YOU WONDERFUL VULCAN . GOD BLESS YOU.

(microwaved) In the 70s watching from the road that passes 30ft from end of the runway at a local UK airport, the Vulcan did a 200 ft low level pass down the runway then went vertical above us you could feel the heat from the after burners the only way to describe the sensation was like being in a microwaved when I look down all the gravel on the road was vibrating😅 miss those days. I have a picture of onlookers being blown left right and centre by a Harrier doing its turn right over the same place nobody was hurt and everybody had a great laugh

Oh, for those days, when Britain had more squadrons than fighters. Before our filthy politicians began bowing down to third world filth.

As a child lived about 4 miles away from Woodford. The NOISE when static engine testing (if the wind was in the wrong direction) was astonishing....but as a child I just thought it something that happened occasionally!

Incredible

Majestic.

When there was no health and safety in air displays lol

Last flight ever went past my office window. I cried.😢 What a beautiful machine.

Gosh our aircraft were incredible!

Wow! I've never seen this footage before. I live in Lincoln, so had these incredible jets flying daily when i was a child. The sound is awesome.

The BEST in the BEST !!

Merry Christmas to you and your family! 🤩

Notice the different tone of voice by the commentators in these old films. It is very much clearer than today's voices! I can even follow them without my hearing aids!

I remember seeing a Vulcan at Chivenor Air Show back in the 80's, these birds were so big, they seemed to hang in the sky defying gravity. They didn't pull acrobatic maneuvers like these though. Nonetheless, a fantastic machine and what an incredible sound - that howl!

Pity years ago they shown and heard the aircraft instead of the guy talking over each second of the film!

I used to see the fuselage of one of these from the train from Southampton to Havant. It was there for years until taken away or cut up. I think it was at Woolston on the Itchen River.

That howl always reminds me of Star Wars. Gutted, I'll never hear one in real life. But at least I've got to see one in an aviation museum.

One of the highlights of the RAF Finningley air shows in the 60s was the 3 Vulcan scramble. Interrupted the show at a random point to get them airborne in a few minutes..then fly pasts to show the blue streakes..

Love that Vulcan Howl @1:35 in that low level pass
