I remember my mum driving back from Cornwall in the late seventies and we had the sunroof open and suddenly it went black and I looked up and there was a Vulcan doing low level flying right over head! I have never forgotten it! It was magical and the roar from those engines was just wonderful!!
It would look a tortured and twisted mess as the engines exited the airframe because it wasnt built to handle, or indeed the power. A Vulcan Olympus bears no resemblance at all to the Olympus 593 used In concorde
@@VulcanBomberxm655 The core is similar. As it is based off of the tsr.2's engines which are based off of bristol olympus engines like the 301 in our XM655. So not comparitavely the same but based on the same core.
She was so eager to go,! I was at welsbourne on that cold day back in 1984" to watch Squadron Leader Joe L" Estrange and his crew bring her in, After a long wait for her to arrive it was well worth it,.
They is some great aircraft from all over the world but the Vulcan is up with the best not only does she look fantastic but boy can she fly and the howl l love it it makes me so sad that we only have some left that just do a fast taxi run 🥹but I sorry USA 🇺🇸 but the Vulcan got you twice on a bomb run 😊
The sound of the 300 series engines is absolutely terrifying in my car loud. No howl just ROAR all that bass you don't so much as hear it as feeling it dissolve your soul. And to think is with the engines at reduced power. I hear the vibration of these engines at original full military power was loud enough to shatter windows and a glazier with precut windows for areas of surrounding airfields was needed the vibration was so intense. Scary
In Clacton airshow in 2015 (if I remember it was that date) it did full extra power over the sea if I can find a video of the moment I’ll link. Even on the beach it felt like the gates of hell was opening.
I don't think I'd have had the strength of character to ignore the temptation to pull the nose up and do a couple of laps, when that nose wheel left the ground.
because britain likes to retire stuff early. because with most planes none of them are built to last. but with the americans you can keep the in they're aircraft in the air for upto 50 or 60 years maybe 70 years
@@columnedfox5508 - on another Vulcan video an engineer talked about the companies who make the parts and are liable for insurance if anything goes wrong.

wonderful sight so sad they cant fly anymore it seem's of late that this county is ashamed of it's past . we now have a steam ban on the main line where I live they have banned steam fairs with traction engines under health and safety want ever next.
To be fair, XH 558 was well approaching its max flight hours, after which point it would simply be unsafe to fly. Unfortunately, this is one of those situations where health and safety concerns are legit.
This has to be one of the most dumb things I read. They aren't grounding these planes because "they are ashamed of the past". They are grounding them because their airframes have reached their lifespan. No one is going to risk their lives to fly a plane that isn't designed to be flown for this long. Please, get a grip of yourself.
@Podge because 744 B52s were made, whilst only 136 Vulcans were. Also, production of Vulcans stopped in 1965 so it’s hard and expensive to find parts to keep the aircraft alive.
The one thing you have to consider that as she's a very complex aircraft, noting down changes and gauge activity is important in keeping her in top nick for the maintenance even if she can't fly. Also if it's for a short fast taxi the crew need to prepare the Vulcan as if they were going to fly her, that's common sense.
wordreet yes but that's because their B-52s are in the military, with all the finance and expertise in place. In private hands that becomes considerably more difficult.

British engineering at its finest. Could you imagine what it would be like if it had afterburners?
Concord, similar engine
Wait till WW3 and we might have one with afterburners.

It’s engines are powerful enough let alone afterburners.
These engine make the floor shake like an earthquake when one flew past.

4:06 she wants to fly again!!!😭😭
Helicopter at 2.14: Look, I can fly backwards!
Vulcan: Sonny, I can set car alarms off from a mile away.
PLEASE save this old girl!
You can see her champing at the very bit to be let loose. Brilliant

There is no doubt they could be kept on standby just in case in a aircraft museums up and down the country. Reliable old girls.

beautiful machine!!!
Ee have 3 almost airworthy vulcans that will nsver fly due to ridiculous rules. This needs to change
Just think they almost had to go for real in October 1962.The were bombed up that weekend.
I was born earlier that year… It could have been a short stint… Per (DK)

come on,take off!!!!!!!!
I don't think I'd have had the strength of character to ignore the temptation to pull the nose up and do a couple of laps, when that nose wheel left the ground.
She tried! A Victor was meant to do a fast taxi like this and that DID take off accidentally!
George Jacob I was there when it happened 😂 can’t believe that was 10 years ago
Superbe avion....Very sad he can t fly anymore
I bet the pilot's want to take off so badly and just do a circut
I bet they did!
blueballing us with no howl
What a waste, these planes are born to fly
All planes are born to fly lol
British bureaucrats.
These planes can no longer fly however there are plans to get XH558 To relocate
And your nana was born to reproduce.
She wants to fly
Did you know the vulcan has 5 engines
There is a engine in the rear. Not many people know about this
Why this can't be save while b52 is still flying strong
because britain likes to retire stuff early. because with most planes none of them are built to last. but with the americans you can keep the in they're aircraft in the air for upto 50 or 60 years maybe 70 years
At one point there were 450 B-52's. Plenty of spare parts despite A-F and G-F models being different systems wise.

Because Britain does not have the capacity in terms of investment and funding like America has hence the reason why
She wants to fly, one day
Remove the trail fin and it's basically a b2. Clever copy by the Americans. What they denigrated 60 years ago they quietly adopted.
is that at bruntingthorpe
No it says Wellesbourne where 655 is stored OUTSIDE
how tempting not to fly that bird...

If the video date is roughly when they filmed it, then it's a year too late for it to be Guy. He must've taxied this one in 2015.

3.28 silly looking chopper, cut to 3.33 evil looking Vulcan..
Bloody Britain father of Jet Engines and marvellous aircrafts. Yanks know it lol
Why not just fly it?
It would be unsafe because some parts may be too worn to make it a safe flight, they keep them on the ground for safety reasons
+camden199 It isn't allowed to fly by the CAA
+camden199 It's a right pain! The yanks are still flying stuff that's significantly older than these beauties. :¬(

Lots of faff for a few seconds of cobweb clearing.
The only aircraft to worry Russia
why aircrew in the back????? ffs it was a taxi
The guy was simply asking why they need a crew in the back for a simple taxi.
The Vulcan needs both Pilots and an AEO to function. The 4th guy is one of the ground crew, not sure what he his noting down.
