    The first time that I ever heard the now infamous Vulcan Howl was at en air show in Yorkshire. The Vulcan was coming in low from my front left crossing to the right. I started to run towards the front as I did not want to miss the sound of the engines. The pilot obviously opened the throttles as I was greeted by this strange howl which stopped me I my tracks. I genuinely thought there was going to be an air crash. The noise haunted me for years until I came across it on you tube .....

    I remember in the 80’s during Abbotsford (BC Canada) international airshow. We were sitting on a small hill a short distance from the airport when a Vulcan flew over. I never forgot the crazy howl and the apocalyptic levels of noise. That was the heyday of airshows in Canada with so many cool aircraft flying but the Vulcan really stole the show for me that year. Now we have portable screens instead of SSTs and space tourism. Who else out there feels ripped off?

    Great clip. Brings back memories when the British Air Force was still in Malta before 1979, used to live under the approch to the airfield and really had fun as a boy, looking at a the aircraft landing or taking off like the Vulcan's, Victor's, Nomrod's, Canberra's, Bucaneer's and all the rest.........Sadly in Oct 1975 a Vulcan expolded over a village killing 5 of the 7 men crew and one on the ground. Agian Great clip.

    Remember one of her final flights at wellesbourne saluting her sister, XM655. She came down the runway low, and went into a spiral climb at close to max power, the noise was deafening. At the top the throttles were closed and every car alarm in the area was going off. Really is such a shame that it wont be ever heard like that again.

    That sound at 2:48. THIS is what people are referring to whenever they mention the Vulcan's howl? I just thought that the term "howl" was thrown around because of how monstrously loud the plane is. I didn't know the term referred to a very specific sound (it reminds me of a loud horn you'd hear sounding the end-times). In any case, what is it about this plane's design that gives it such a noise, and why do you not see/hear anything similar on more modern planes? Thanks for any answers, in advance.

Allowing these high tech industries to mostly die, does anyone really think the political parties in charge of the UK since then have done the country well, or taken it backwards. Does anyone think they will do any better in the next 70 years?
