THE AVRO VULCAN BOMBER
📽️ The delta-winged Avro Vulcan:
It was operated by the Royal Air Force between 1956 and 1984 and was the backbone of the United Kingdom's airborne nuclear deterrent during much of the Cold War.
Although no Vulcan is now in flying condition, we meet the team of volunteers keeping one Avro Vulcan alive - the XM655 Maintenance & Preservation Society.

    Any car with 55/45 f/r distribution that has over 600hp on 285 rear tires will swap ends if you don’t be careful with the throttle. My 500hp S197 GT on 305s would happily swap ends if I’m not careful. Lol

    I saw one of these fly at an air show at McGuire AFB in the US back in the 1980s. Very impressive aircraft! And it's an impressive design. Close up, you can see that it's far more complex than you can see at first glance from a distance: The wing leading edge for example, has several angles rather than a smooth curve.

    Short but great video for that UK legend! I'm french, however, as an aviation fan, i was always attracted by that big UK bird, and don't ask me the reason why, it was (and still is) like that! The "Victor" comes in second, and "Valiant" third, nevertheless, his majesty Vulcan was/is on top! I personally never watch one to fly, only through videos, and i hope that fiction join reality one day, before i definitively close my eyes! Good luck to all Vulcan to fly again, even if i know the reason why they can't today! "Merci beaucoup" to The Breakdown for post it!

    Back in 64 my Father was assigned by GEC Marconi to the British Admiralty to help on the installation of Polaris into the Resolution sub, He worked on Polaris and then Trident until he retired in 97. Although Polaris signaled the end for the Vulcan, it remained his favorite aircraft. On the day of XH558 final flight, we happened to be sat in his garden enjoying a glass of whiskey. To our surprise, a shadow was cast on the garden, and from out of nowhere, XH558 appeared........it brought a tear to his eye........what a plane!

    Had the absolute privilege and honour to meet Wing Commander Mike Pollitt and some of the other volunteers when I went down for a photo shoot last year. Many of the lads are ex RAF. So much respect for all of them for the incredible work they do in keeping this aircraft ins such condition so people like me can appreciate it.

  • @JohnDavison-w9u

    I worked on this aircraft at RAF Waddingon,as an electrician, from 1968 to 1971 and then again 1981 to 1982. Nice to see it running again bringing back lots of fond memories.

    Ah the memories my brother had the van in yellow in the 1960's, and later in the 1980's he had a saloon. I always loved the sporty sound that came from the exhaust.

    Good production values. I looked into using British Pathé footage on my XL426 films but at £600ish per use on multiple platforms I felt it wasn't good value for money. Colour grading is spot on. Nice job.

  • @moonraker5534

    My only experience with a Vulcan aircraft ( none flying of course) was as an Aircraft Apprentice at RAF Halton in the early 1960's. The dreaded " Aircraft Flying Controls" 3 week phase on the Vulcan Boulton Paul Flying Controls Units. We had to learn the operation and sequencing of these BP control units inside out and upside down leading to an exam at the end of the 3 week phase. They were complicated even with the cut-away units for instruction! Whoever it was who designed these BP flying control units should have sought medical help. Anyway on a brighter note. Move forward to September 2023 and I am proud to say that it was my Grandson who was on the private production and filming team for this TH-cam video you have just watched. Who would have thought that was going to happen 61 years ago.
