As a young RAF airman I remember being on exercise at RAF Boulmer in the late 70's, I was standing on top of a radar base when a Vulcan came in at low level from over the North Sea to simulate an attack from a Russian bomber, the sheer sight and sound of this beautiful aircraft was at the time inspiring if a little terrified over its ultimate use, the time of the cold War may be well gone, but this World has never seemed a more dangerous place than it is today.
Blimey that sounds mega, thanks for sharing 👍😎
I fully agree. The world does seem like a far more dangerous place today than it ever did during the Cold War. As a teenager in the Seventies and hitting 20 in '81, the world did actually feel a lot safer.
My dad used to take us to air shows all the time when we were growing up.
I will never forget the 1st time we saw the Vulcan! I was rooted to the spot with my mouth open!
I’d never been so in awe in my life and the roar and hum noise of the engines made my hair stand on end! It still has the same effect when I see it on video, but, will never be the same as hearing that roar in real life!
“We came for the Red Arrows, but we always stayed for the Vulcan Bomber” is what my Dad always said.
Beautiful work of art.💛
Good memories. Thanks for sharing 👍
@@bobsurgranny My pleasure! Thanks for posting your videos!😍✈️
I saw a Vulcan up close at the McGuire Air Force Base in New Jersey in the mid-'60s. I was with my father and younger brother. It was a static display. This may have been in '66 after Thunderball (1965) showcased the aircraft. Thinking of it now, they would have flown the Vulcan out of New Jersey to the next airshow or back to Great Britain but, unfortunately, we never did see her in her element. A Harrier 'jump jet' performed that day and we were fairly close to that. I could see the Harrier's pilot clearly through the canopy.
I never thought I could ever miss a plane so much :)
Me neither 😉
@@bobsurgranny Never mind we'll have another Lanc, a mosquito and a typhoon gracing British skies in a few years.
I never thought I could miss the old days as much as I do the 70s
Conceived, designed and built by people without the aid of computers. A fact that makes it even more remarkable.
Who built the Computers!? Did it even sound right, when you were typing ;P
That’s not correct at all. Computers helped speed up the testing and development of the Vulcan by a huge amount. Calculations which would have taken weeks were able to be done it a matter of minutes.
Computers have been around since a little after the end of ww2, maybe not silicon based but still computers
The main computer is between your ears. The mechanical device merely speeds up the computations of what is entered by the biological one. THE ABACUS IS A COMPUTER.
@@wesleyreese7647 ok
That Vulcan "hangs in the air precisely the way bricks don't." Special thanks to the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy!
Great footage . You can never forget the sight and sound of this amazing, mighty aircraft. We have to be grateful we saw and heard this aircraft.
On our passing out parade at Swinderby we had 6 of these as our flypast, that was 1978 when they were still in service of course.
That sounds incredible. You could hear a pin drop on Swinderby airfield now, shame.
By the way, is that amazing photo of the Vulcan flying really low over the bandstand the "passing out" parade you speak of?
I feel very lucky to be an Australian who's seen this beautiful aircraft. I have no idea where it or the escort came from but by heading they were going to Amberley Airbase near Brisbane. They flew high over Binna Burra in Queensland in 1978. A Vulcan and 4 BAC Lightnings as escort. There was no mention in the newspapers at all. But what a glorious sight.
What a memory, thanks for sharing 👍
Respect to our cousins Australia from uk
The most beautiful and elegant aircraft ever built it’s a crime that the youngsters of today will never see this engineering masterpiece flying
Theres one really close to where i live, all i want to do is see it fly again and hear that howl.
I am 12 and thank god I saw it at the Bournemouth air show 2014 and RIAT 2015 on its last air display it banked right and pointed it’s engines right at us! The noise was incredible!!!
They would all miss it due to making tiktok videos
Each to their own I suppose. But I'd say the Concorde was a more "elegant & beautiful aircraft".
Wow! The sight of her powering through the smoke and the sun flashing off her wings was utterly mesmerising!!
Sure was lucky to catch this
When the Vulcan did its final flight we were in the car on a minor road with my window open near the Durham coast, I heard the engines knew instantly what it was pulled the car over and jumped out. My other half asked me what the hell was I doing. What a sight and what a sound when the Vulcan flew everybody stopped and looked up.
Fantastic 👍 Thanks for sharing
I'm in Washington. It flew straight over my house, circled the Vulcan at the Sunderland air museum and off it went!
And i bet you had to tell her to shut up, so you could hear the Vulcan. 😂 😂 😂
@@martinanderson1995 Oh you've met her? 😂
@@neilmurrell281 lol brilliant reply, most enjoyable humour, an element sadly deficient and greatly welcomed in todays society. 👍
I saw XH 558 as a wreck in the hanger at Bruntingthorpe in the early 2000s. How they rebuilt it and made it fly is a miracle!
RAF aircraft Engineers my friend, finest on the planet. I've seen skills you can only stand and wonder how some stuff is humanly possible. God bless the RAF.
Lovely footage, and that was a hell of a zoom-climb at the end. I'm going to miss her.
OBE for Robert Pleming says I.
How about a Knighthood
Superb. Simply superb. She truly was The Grand Old Lady
Although I agree that the Vulcan is superb, there is however only one Grand Old Lady, HMS Warspite
@@marxmcrae
It depends on which of the armed forces you prefer. I'm on the RAF fence so to me it's aeroplanes and the Vulcan being The Grand Old Lady. Neither of us are wrong
In the 1950s, Britain designed & built this aircraft; I can't wait to see the Tempest!
The thing that has always struck me about the Vulcan, is that it never seems to be going fast enough to stay airborne then you remember how BIG this plane is and realise it moving quite fast.
Yes the sheer size of it can be quite deceiving. Absolute tool of an aircraft 👍
The Vulcan had a high lift wing, and was a very good plane to fly at low speeds.
Ever forget how silent the crowd would be when watching the Vulcan fly. It was just so mesmerising.
Always got everyones full attention. So very captivating
Awesome sight awesome sound she really was a beast but so beautiful never to be forgotten
💯👍
God she could climb!!
No shit
She is litterally a wing
@@andreaskavak2364 It's more about the power to weight ratio than shape of wing
The Avro Vulcan B/MRR /K2 XH558 entered service in 1960 spent 8 years of her Service life at RAF Finningly returned to RAF Waddington in1968 till she was sold in 1993.
I was inflyby camping at the time, and got an insane view and by far the sharpest wingover they've ever done on the circuit, I called it pretty much inverted
Fond memory 👍
thank you for capturing such a moment of glory.
To see the Vulcan flying up through the Red Arrows smoke was something else 👌
Stunningly beautiful 💜 The power and her sound is just incredible, and to see her flying in person was just the BEST 💜💜💜💜
Absolutely. Glad you enjoyed watching 👍
After seeing the original Rodan monster movie in the 1950's, I thought that the Vulcan looked a lot like it !
Absolutely! I always think of "Rodan" when i see footage of one. Back in about 1971, one showed up at the Kissimmee Florida airshow. Upon "rotate" on the runway...it threw up chucks of asphalt the size of a dinner plate. The announcer said.. well, he won't be asked back.
Great filming! Magnificent sight - we so miss her.
Thanks 👍 Sure was
❤️⭐️ lovely footage - a joy to watch this beautiful aircraft!
Thanks. Glad you enjoyed watching 👍
The Vulcan is sorely missed in the skies
I remember this and it always makes me smile
Yep its a nice one to come back to
Roy Chadwick designed the Avro 504 in WW1 the Avro Lancaster in WW2 The Avro Shackleton post-war together with the Avro Vulcan plus civilian aircraft.What an amazing legacy.
Brilliant innovative engineering
The scary thing is having them sit side by side and thinking it was just a short jump in time between. One looks like it fits the time the other looks like t came back in time moon. Thats a serious jump in engineering. I’ve seen both in the flesh the Lancaster and Avro and to think the same guy went from wood to the B2 Vulcan 1960 amazing.
Roy Chadwick didn't design the Vulcan. That was a chap called Stuart Davies. Chadwick was killed in an air accident a few months after the initial designs for a 4 engined jet bomber had been submitted.
I lived in Farnborough when growing up & this was a daily sight for us, fantastic aircraft of it's day!! Lol. Mr.P. Tenerife 👍🍺
You lucky bugger 👍
MY MOST FAVORITE
AIRCRAFT IN THE WORLD !
THANKS FOR THE MEMORIES ! 😁👍
You will like the TR3B
Sad its last year flying xh558 , Leuchars as a kid loved vulcan take offs
Simply Magnificent!
Thanks. Pleased you enjoyed it
When it comes through the blue smoke is really impressive.
Great airshow moment that was 👍 It really did appear out of the blue 😎
Awesome aircraft.
No doubt
Where's the "Love" button?
Stunning photography. M.
Thanks 👍
Another video I watch back every so often
That's great that you come back to it, glad you enjoy watching this magic airshow moment
It's hard to believe that something so beautiful was built for so much destruction I saw one at a display it looks more like a starship than a plane.
Amazing looking aircraft. Great deterrent that only got used the once.
@@bobsurgranny like they say, the whole idea of a deterrent is that you don't need to actually use it.
Just stunning!!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
The silhouette of Rodan. What a beauty.
My cats love it!
That's a big bird!🐥😆
Hope things are well
Glad we saw this cause we have an air show this weekend in Edmonton
Wow, this old beauty still amazes me.
Me too. So far ahead of its time, remarkable engineering
That’s one Big Bombed for sure ! It shows just how resilient the British prople are and creative ? I think they’re able to build anything from nothing doing the worse possible situation without any technology , using only their minds , producing something , resulting as a final master piece that’s impeccable & flawless ! They have proven that time & time again , but yet always maintaining their integrity , dignity and composure with a smile on their faces which they have proven before , during and after WWII , one has to love the bloody old chaps which I mean in a very good complimentary way !
she is still a graceful lady such a shame it's her last year another museum piece just like concorde both elegant planes wonderfully engineered.
And let's not forget the third aircraft that used the same engines- the TSR-2, which was a stunning example of what Britain could achieve until the polititians killed it.
The control of the Vulcan pilots, the temptation to do a full roll must have been immense 😀😀
I'm glad I got to see it fly a few times and hear her howl.
Very nice hearing the howl in person 👍😎
I can watch this all day
The Vulcan effect 😉👌
Fantastic!
I got to see one up close while I was station at Charleston AFB . It was just a few years before GB mothballed them . Amazing, elegant and Hugh aircraft. Very maneuverable at low altitudes…
First Concorde, now the Vulcan... all kids these days will have to tell their grand kids is seeing Will.I.am
Who?
All I know about Will I F**k is that he's a class 1 knobhead whereas the people who designed the Vulcan were geniuses.
Bloody awesome mate!"!!
This is unforgettable
Stunning
This was chills. The Red Arrows throttled up in sequence on the runway, harmonious sound. They then put the blue smoke on covering the sky above them, everyones looking where the Vulcan has gone, and all of a sudden it comes piercing through the blue smoke and over us before a zoom climb and wingover for its last appearance at RIAT
Amazing aircraft will be missed
Sorely missed on the airshow circuit
I thought he was going to barrel roll it at one point! Something it is actually capable of, on one of its first flights the test pilot did a low level barrel roll over the facrory while he was wearng a shirt and tie! He must have been at God level that day from the crowd when he landed!!
He wasn't called Roly for nothing 😉😎
@@bobsurgranny he blew out most of the windows on the factory sky light if i remember the documentary, did you see the same one?
Majestic Flying Monster
OMG Bob l love that plane. To me it looks like such a graceful giant moth in the air, Heidi ❤️🤗🤗😘👍
Absolutely!
Used to love seeing this fly i used to live near biggen hill she used to fly over go vertical an make the ground shake beautiful icbm from the cold war 70s.💯💪true engendered blood sweat an tears.❤
Great memories, thanks for sharing 👍😉
I was US Air Force in the 1980s and remember this remarkable aircraft. A real beauty!
Yes nice, but nothing like a 3 sided time benders of today. Scallops on the back ring a bell???
The Avro Vulcan always looks to me like a visitor from another planet. Scary!
Vulcan is definitely an odd shape in the sky, totally unique.
the climb rate of the vulcan is incredible sadly she didnt role. i was there on the day
Superbly beautiful on the Avro Vulcan 😎🤩
💯 👌
@@bobsurgranny haha fantastic indeed 😂😁
Great footage....Steve.~
Goosebumps! Definitely a COOL shot!
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Astounding
👍
An Amazing Aircraft I remember seeing them coming in low off the North sea fast on an Attack course or something for Fylingdales Awesome..Never forget the sight of 3 of them in formation like that and the Roar to a young Kid !!!
When the last Vulcan was doing a tour of the UK I was playing rugby in Manchester when she flew overhead at about 200 ft, absolutely stunning, 31 grown men sent back to being 9-year old boys 😁
What a memory that is. Thanks for sharing 👍
Something about the shape of the Vulcan overhead scares the crap out of me. That and the insane amount of power screaming out of it
There's nothing quite like the mighty vulcan is there
Live long and prosper..! 🖖
One of the coolest looking bombers ever made!
Awesome footage
Thanks
When Britain could design and build pure genius.
MAJESTIC !!!
Glad you enjoyed watching 👍
Awesome....what a beast ...!
Certainly is 👍
Fling effortlessly! ....at night you might think you saw a ufo...lol
😉
Wow! Very nice!👍👏🔥
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Stunning filming!
Glad you enjoyed watching 👍
That Sound
Vulcan is one of the best sounding aircraft ever 💯
Even the intended target enemy troops would have been taking photos.
Amazing :)
Magic airshow moment this was
A great aircraft and so agile for its size.
How does it stay in the air? Looks really slow. Maybe not, but i'm seeing a really slow plane.
Sorry to be dumb but how do zi do that?
+Bill Ramsey I can't fly planes, so I wouldn't worry too much sir.If you click my name and go to my channel page, you'll see a button that says ABOUT, click that, then you should see a send message button.
Impressive !
Vulcan never gets old 😉😎
Great film...I’m glad I saw her many times,when she was white!
It's OK to be white, lol
@@crusader2.0_loading89 Certainly is and proud of it....but she did have a black nose!
Just want to use for a private dinner for all the aircrew. Can you put it on Dropbox or similar
+Bill Ramsey Ok nice one. If you message me your email I can send a shorter video file (just the smoke bit) through Microsoft Onedrive.
Сумрачный гений британских конструкторов...
Can someone explain why the wings are shaped solid to the tail. As opposed to regular wings on normal planes
One of the reasons is that there are 5 fuel tanks in each wing, around 65% total fuel load.
The design requirement was focused on a weight limit. By a shorter wing span and filling in to form a delta, weight was saved but some aspects of performance suffered. One of the bonuses of the wing was the ability to turn smartly at lower weights and it could outturn fighters in some circumstances.
Delta wing stile.
All different kinds of body's and wings have been used over the years.
All depends what its used for and who's making the most money.
Как же он красив! Просто мечта истребителя! Завалить такой в ближнем бою из бортовой пушки)))
Great footage mate, do you ever get down to Brize Norton at all?
+MattWR4 Thanks. I've not been there, but it looks like a place to see some awesome aircraft.
+bobsurgranny yeah it's real good there! Should get down to Brize one day pal. It's great seeing the c17's land :) I go there quite a lot :)
2:03 looks like it disappears for a split second 🤣
Good spot. It's a bit of crap on the lens, takes it out of focus for a sec
@@bobsurgranny i thought it may of just been light reflection plus angle plus shape of object. But, a bit of crap on the lens is easier to explain 🤪
Thanks for the reply/explanation 👍🏻👊🏻
Thanks for sharing the evidence that Britain did have pride in herself once and was prepared to show it by designing aircraft like the Vulcan and Victor
Yep superb engineering 👍
I like the Vulcan.
I was there on the Saturday for my first ever RIAT!
Not a bad first RIAT 😉
She's a beautiful aircraft
💯
I have a picture of this today.
Was it a decent aircraft?
Этот. ,, Вулкан,, снимался в ,, Шаровой молнии,, ?
Wow coool Xh558
👍😎
Spock 🌹😢rip
I grew up watching Leonard and Shatner
Vulcan is a cool name
Almost named my new Bengal kitten that, but chose "rogue warrior"
We've been busy getting geese, baby duck project for 2 months, drag racing, purebred bengals, etc.. Bob if you know kids that like cute stuff please share a link if you would 🐝so kind
You can post links of any or even all your videos in my comment section, they are so darn impressive!👍🏻🎥
Cheers 🇨🇦
