First full video on my new channel and I did not expect it to blow up like this! Thanks so much! Subscribe and i'll make sure to get more content out and maybe get a closer look at the Vulcan for you
I was working at Southend airport and stood at the end of the runway and watched her fly in! I never thought I would see her taxi in 2024, an amazing job by the engineers to keep the airframe looking so good and to keep those fabulous engines running all these years later.
@@lukuss_Flies It certainly was, I worked in the little ind estate next to aviation way, I stood out in what was the old potato field (now airport) opposite and watched the complete show, it was fantastic, and no less memorable all these years later. A day never to be forgotten.
What a wonderful sight! I'm old enough to remember the 8 ship 'Vulcan Scrambles' at RAF Waddington, now that WAS a sight to see. Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen, on your left, the Avro Vulcan" Vulcan "WooooooOOOOOOOOOO!"
@lukuss_Flies There is something special about the shape of the Vulcan. It is my favourite aircraft and I would love to see one flying again. Seeing(and hearing!) one doing a high speed taxi is the next best thing.
beautiful,great work by all the team,i loved watching Vulcan & Victor displays at Mildenhall Airfete's back in the 70's & 80's & that beautiful howl through the engine air intakes WOW
Great video footage, i remember seeing the last vulcan at finingley and after that the vulcan return to the sky for maybe a couple of years. Mis these aircraft massively, you cant keep them all going as its all down to the airframe unfortunately 😢
I started my flying lessons at the club where the Vulcan lives back in the late 90s. I then moved to NZ in 99, so it's very pleasing to she is still alive and well all these years later. 🇳🇿
Such a shame not to seeing the vulcan fly, remembering many airshows and as one of the highlights. Their take off into a quick climb, filling everyone there with the immense raw and vibration of its engines. Then only when it had climbed far enough away, you were consumed by a hundred or so car alarms that had been set off Hilarious . I remember the last time I saw it fly, just happened to be on an activity gift day. climbing a twenty plus foot outdoor wall being abruptly told by the instructor to pay attention to the wall, and not point at the Vulcan passing roughly a thousand feet near us. It just deserves our attention hopefully always will. Great video even the arty sunsets silhouettes👍
I remember 'Vulcan Scrambles' at RAF Finningley 'At Home Day' airshows - on the Red Alert siren aircrews would run to the planes which were rapid started and within two minutes four mighty Vulcans were airborne........I've never heard or felt anything so loud!
this is pretty nice to see her taxying so close ! I was lucky enough to see 588 fly at Cosford . ( also Farnborough when I was a kid saw Vulcans and Victors fly !)
@@lukuss_FliesBut B52s are operational so keeping them going is a whole different ballgame from keeping one or two preserved aircraft flying. For a start Boeing keeps the whole support infrastructure going because it’s economically viable.
Boeing still maintains the B52 aircraft, still manufacturing replacement parts, and still has engineers trained to work on these dinosaurs. The Vulcan, retired from service, decades ago, any parts would be old stock, if they can be found at all, and the people who know how to maintain these aircraft are either retired or dead. To get this Vulcan back into the sky would take a complete nut and bolt dismantling and rebuild. Any parts not now available would need to be re-manufactured, which would incur an astronomical cost.
Saw a Vulcan fly at the Culdrose air show in Cornwall late 70's early 80's. Never will forget how mobile she was when flying. At one point in the display she flew directly over our house with the bomb doors open. What a sound. Was going to say noise but it isn't, it's a sound that should be heard for as long as possible.
my daughter was born in 2015 and i made sure she saw and heard a vulcan even if she doesn't remember it. we watched XH558 take off from finningley. it was about 1000ft up by the end of the runway. june 28th 2015.
They used to fly low [1,000ft ish] over my home in the late 70s when I was a kid. We were north of Biggin and they'd loiter over us before their flypast. They didn't shatter any windows but it must have been close. It is Concorde-loud. Which is absolutely deafening. I'd like to see the B1-B - it must be similar. At the time, Motorhead was popular, serene, gentle music - compared to the Vulcan.
A number of years ago I got to go in the cockpit of XL426 on an open day at Southend. It's always been said it was cramped, but you just don't realise just how cramped until you step inside. Amazing how the crews undertook the Black Buck missions in these. Also recall being told to press a button on a "pen" on the end of a hose. Was then told that would have released a nuclear bomb. Humbling stuff.
A good video 👍 In the 60s as a 6 yr old from our back garden at Finningly ( the runway was behind ) I could watch these landing and taking off all day . The downside to this however was circuits at night doing touch and go the metal windows frames would shake the glass . Happy days .
That surely has to be the absolute Mother of all restoration efforts! Where do you get parts? Who signs off on it? Who’s current in flying it? Who insures it?? Well done all.
@@lukuss_Flies Orgasmic wasn’t it….Accelerate a couple of hundred yards down the runway, then brake hard! …..I wonder if they will show anything else as exciting as this? Maybe an English electric lighting powering up it’s engines….Or, to cap it all a Sopwith Camel doing it’s customary rock n’ roll while gunning its engine.
The government never back the military look at the homeless, BBMC is nothing to do with the gov, great to see these butiyful birds again thanks to the man who vidio it brings back memories...
That is an awesome aircraft with great ability for it's time and also back in the day it was almost criminal that Canada could not even save one of it's Avro Arrow's for this type of display.
558 I new well as I worked at bruntingthorp when it was stationed there and seen her many times in the air also got a display of are own over Ross few years back
Being old enough to see them flying whilst in service (XH558) first flew in the year I was born, 1960. And also working at RAF Finningley while it was been flown to shows for it's last few years (XH558) To me it's now akin to a wild animal that was king of it's jungle, thats now been caged as an exhibit and only allowed to howl. 😠
I really wonder just how much it would cost to get this Magnificent Aircraft airworthy again? This Vulcan needs to fly again, where it was meant to be!
I doubt very much that an expensive, vital machine such as this would be permittted to fly with "a design fault." The howl is an awful lot of air being forced through somewhat confined spaces as per spec.
@@wossisname4540 How many nuclear bombers have a howling air intake which can be heard more loudly the further the aircraft is away along its flight path towards its intended target?
@@damonrobus-clarke533 My understanding is, is that when and wherever they put their foot to the metal the engine intake howls like a banshee. BTW, I love the look of the Vulcan and the irrational romanticism surrounding it even though it was a complete bag of shyte as a deterrent carrier. The thing I marvel most about it is that the designers and engineers were able to cobble together an aircraft like that so soon after WWII when everyone else was driving around the highways and byways Britain in piston engine bath tubs. Shall we talk about that other useless but gorgeous looking White Elephant, the TSR2 next?...
It's great we have footage but you had to be there. Every day is a gift, who knows when it was ever their last chance to see. Impossible is mostly for politicians.
How many remember the days we actualy built and exported aircraft in large numbers. Now all we seem to do is create beaurocracy and bullying. Mind you, we are world leaders. Thanks to all who look after this beautiful plane. We owe you a lot
I videoed the Vulcan when it last did a circuit of air bases. It spent several minutes over and around Wittering and Stamford. Unfortunately, for me, I lost my camera in a car fire. It was only a cheap camera but the loss of that video has always been a sad point, as the Vulcan flew nearly overhead on one pass.
Will it fly? If so get it airborne. It would stil be flying if in America . Get it airborne were British! It's the same as the Royal Yacht and the QEII....nothing is sacred.
Very sad that the uk gov can’t keep at least two of them in flying order. It can’t be down to finance as we can afford to keep thousands of illegal migrants in hotels indefinitely…

So wonderful to hear that howl again!
It will never get old
Really gives you the tingles.
Such a gorgeous aircraft!
Full marks too to London Southend Airport. I hope they're really proud of her.
You can't beat that spooky sounding Olympus howl
Absolutely not!
The Vulcan force's final flourish was an unheralded but spectacular low level formation flypast over the Group HQ at Bawtry Hall.
Great footage of a beautiful aircraft! thanks for posting!
Wonderful to see, and of course, hear.❤❤❤❤❤
Loved seeing the Vulcan fly again, shame it's now grounded but pleased to see 426 roar for us!
Loved watching the Vulcans at Finningley when I was kid😢
Great! The legend lives on. What a charismatic plane. 😎
Excellent. A fantastic aircraft. Way ahead of its time.
What a wonderful sight! I'm old enough to remember the 8 ship 'Vulcan Scrambles' at RAF Waddington, now that WAS a sight to see.
Announcer: "Ladies and gentlemen, on your left, the Avro Vulcan"
Vulcan "WooooooOOOOOOOOOO!"
I do just love the sound of those jets!!!!
Such a great sound
Love The Vulcan howl. Great displays at RAF Mildenhall the Vulcan was always a highlight 😊
sadly this will never happen
Really nice video of a stunning aircraft with a nice looking sky in the background.
Silhouette of the vulcan passing the sunset hits different!
@lukuss_Flies
There is something special about the shape of the Vulcan. It is my favourite aircraft and I would love to see one flying again. Seeing(and hearing!) one doing a high speed taxi is the next best thing.
Thanks for the video. Great to see it active again. I hope there are plans to make one of them airworthy again.
Great effort and workmanship by all involved. Thanks for uploading this for others to see, your video is much appreciated.
Thank you, the restoration team have kept her gleaming for years for us
I used to guard these at Scampton and Waddington. I live near Southend. Thanks for sharing
Very welcome
Many thanks for the great video and commentary, I had no idea that there is a running Vulcan at Southend, how awesome!!!
Thanks, yep she's been doing taxi runs for years and luckily seam to be getting more frequent atleast for me anyway
beautiful,great work by all the team,i loved watching Vulcan & Victor displays at Mildenhall Airfete's back in the 70's & 80's & that beautiful howl through the engine air intakes WOW
Having served at Scamton, it’s a sound thrives with me. She was on 27 when I saw her last.
Amazing to hear!
Remember seeing and Hearing! these Beauties in the Sky as a Kid! love to see them fly again!
I do enjoy flying my Vulcan in VR now and then.
As an Aussie I was lucky enough to be at Fairford in 2015.
So was i. It was a memorable sight I will never forget..
Great video footage, i remember seeing the last vulcan at finingley and after that the vulcan return to the sky for maybe a couple of years. Mis these aircraft massively, you cant keep them all going as its all down to the airframe unfortunately 😢

My dad did the same so it was always nice sitting in the club house bar staring at it parked up whilst he was out doing circuits

Sad they can keep B52s in service but we can’t keep a Vulcan flying. There should be government funding for this.
So true.. but that's America VS UK for you. Americans and their military and government. Our government don't care
@@lukuss_FliesBut B52s are operational so keeping them going is a whole different ballgame from keeping one or two preserved aircraft flying. For a start Boeing keeps the whole support infrastructure going because it’s economically viable.
B52’s are still in service with the US. The Vulcan is not in service. It’s pretty simple.
Avro Vulcans have run out of flying hours on their airframe so can’t licence or insure them to fly, as I understand it.
@@classicraceruk1337so…no historical preservation then. Do you want to scrap the B.B.M.F?
Once seen never forgotten , Dad was in the RAF , so got to see it overhead a couple of times as a kid.
Nice
Boeing still maintains the B52 aircraft, still manufacturing replacement parts, and still has engineers trained to work on these dinosaurs. The Vulcan, retired from service, decades ago, any parts would be old stock, if they can be found at all, and the people who know how to maintain these aircraft are either retired or dead. To get this Vulcan back into the sky would take a complete nut and bolt dismantling and rebuild. Any parts not now available would need to be re-manufactured, which would incur an astronomical cost.
Would be worth it though no? 😄
Even if an absolute fortune was spent getting her in perfect flying condition
XL426 wouldn't get permission to fly.

Honestly thought I was seeing things😳 - bloody magnificent!😁
Always a great site
Such a beauty…. Love that howl❤❤❤
Cannot beat that howl
Nice sunset shots!
Thanks, it's now my desktop background
When Britain still knew how to build great aircraft.. and were allowed to.
Imagine the EU emissions regulations nowadays with a vulcan... they cry over a car
Great video
Thanks

I envy that you had a house like that 😅
How much would it take to get her flying again? Definitely one of the most beautiful aircraft to take to the skies. Power and grace in one package. 👍
That surely has to be the absolute Mother of all restoration efforts! Where do you get parts? Who signs off on it? Who’s current in flying it? Who insures it?? Well done all.
We need a vulcan 2!
Beautiful aircraft
One of the best
Good to see and hear once again.😁
Always a welcome sound
I bet the people living nearby weren't pleased about this. Hard luck.
Sounds like a them problem
@@lukuss_Flies Yep 😁
Love this Plane
Awesome ❤
Likewise! Thanks
@@lukuss_Flies Orgasmic wasn’t it….Accelerate a couple of hundred yards down the runway, then brake hard! …..I wonder if they will show anything else as exciting as this?

Just heard today that Doncaster/Sheffield airport could be saved,this is the home of 558 so hopefully we'll see her taxiing again soon!
Hopefully!
Only 11 years separated the first flight of the Lancaster and the Vulcan. Quite amazing really.
Things progressed real fast
The only jet to get even louder when its far away!
The government never back the military look at the homeless, BBMC is nothing to do with the gov, great to see these butiyful birds again thanks to the man who vidio it brings back memories...
It was THE ultimate crowd puller / pleaser at any airshow, The engines howl , and steep takeoff with a halfroll. 😳. Sadly missed.
Farnborough airshow 😌
@ indeed has, but essentially ANY airshow, I was fortunate to watch it a number of times at Leuchars Battle of Britain air display.
Great video. Last saw XL426 at RAF Gan Maldive Islands 1972.
Wow
The Dambusters operated from RAF Scampton during WW2, not Marham.
Ahh thank you! From all the stuff I've read it said Marham unless I just got mixed up with Marham for the Vulcan
@@lukuss_Flies Marham never saw Vulcans; when I was stationed there in the early sixties there were 3 Valiant squadrons.
Enjoyed it nevertheless! Thanks.
"I am Olympus and it's too late for you now... "
Great video thank you
Thank you

A stunning & bwautiful aircraft, & British to the core A*****
Very evocarive, thanks. What was the actual date of this run ?
Sometime last summer, can't recall the exact date
I’ve just lit up a big spliff.
Dambusters and Marham eh?
Awesome
I really wonder just how much it would cost to get this Magnificent Aircraft airworthy again?
This Vulcan needs to fly again, where it was meant to be!
10s of millions I bet
Awesome 👍
The "howl" is essentially a design flaw. I'm not sure quite why its celebrated so much.
Because it sounds awesome.
I doubt very much that an expensive, vital machine such as this would be permittted to fly with "a design fault."

Shall we talk about that other useless but gorgeous looking White Elephant, the TSR2 next?...
Live long and prosper
Indeed! 😁
Listen to her. it is ridiculous thats still flying with the funds shes on. well done to the folk looking after her 🎉
Unfortunately not flying but luckily still working
@ oh ok. still impressive c:
How much would a composite Vulcan cost with off the shelf commercial jets?
Was this the Vulcan that overran the runway a few years ago??
No that was XM655 at Wellesbourne Mountford airfield up near Stratford upon Avon
@lukuss_Flies - Ah ok, thanks. Hopefully that one gets repaired too
We live jut over a mile from London Southend Airport and when the vulcan has a taxi run we can hear that unnerving howl.
Amazing
My Dad flew her when at RAF Scampton. I have his flight logs.
Your dad is a legend
Let me guess...the little step between taxing and flighing is just red tape?
It's great we have footage but you had to be there.
Every day is a gift, who knows when it was ever their last chance to see.
Impossible is mostly for politicians.
Oh how tempting it must have been to commit aviation 😂
I can imagine, its happened before
How many remember the days we actualy built and exported aircraft in large numbers. Now all we seem to do is create beaurocracy and bullying. Mind you, we are world leaders. Thanks to all who look after this beautiful plane. We owe you a lot
Thank the vulcan restoration trust for that 🫡
are you watching this Ben ? your favourite aircraft .
Is that still flying? she is 63!
I wish... last flying vulcan was grounded in 2014 due to no support and hours on the airframe so they'll never fly again
I videoed the Vulcan when it last did a circuit of air bases. It spent several minutes over and around Wittering and Stamford. Unfortunately, for me, I lost my camera in a car fire. It was only a cheap camera but the loss of that video has always been a sad point, as the Vulcan flew nearly overhead on one pass.
Nice!
Are there ANY flying Vulcans left in the world?
No, unfortunately, not anymore. 😢
No, run out of airframe flying hours, sadly.
It should be in the air again not up and down a runway, shame it's not allowed to fly.
Politics decides what happens with all the military hardware.
Get yourselves Microsoft flight simulator XBOX or other platforms
I FLY THE VULCAN AMAZING .....❤
The lottery money should fund this great plane and our tax payers money👌
I'd be happy for my money to go to that cause
Sad to think that surely she is still technically airworthy…? Just a shame she is governed by modern day hurdles.
I bet she could still easily fly
the vulcan so wants to just take of. and i bet you it could
I bet it would
Will it fly? If so get it airborne. It would stil be flying if in America . Get it airborne were British! It's the same as the Royal Yacht and the QEII....nothing is sacred.
its about time they got rid of this junk,
And it's junk how?
Very sad that the uk gov can’t keep at least two of them in flying order. It can’t be down to finance as we can afford to keep thousands of illegal migrants in hotels indefinitely…
