Still a crap hole.😢

Nice sounding engine.

Thanks to our leaders and the people not respecting the area, the place has now gone to wrack and ruin since then.

Just how a remember it when driving from Ynysddu to Crosskeys college

My colliery the celynen north was still open 😊

Changed for the worse . Much better road layout back then

I lived in Pontywaun in the mid 90s and would hit XXXmph on my Kawasaki on that last section approaching the roundabout with the Sirhowy turn off. After rolling off the throttle down to 70 it felt like you could get off and jog alongside :) It was a beautiful sweeping road, very light on traffic and pretty much secluded, hidden from view. A lean into the roundabout, then a short blip up to the Cross Keys junction or more often up to the next one and double back through the village. Great roads. I think it was around 1991 that I first rode on that bypass so it would have looked quite like this. Amazing how quickly the trees grew up alongside the road over the years because by 1998 I remember it being fully wooded. Thanks Elliot for sharing this link!

Wow this video is the best thing I've watched in ages 😊 it's amazing seeing how it used to look especially where newbridge roundabout is now and those buildings just before Crumlin petrol station I never new about, that's crazy. Thanks for sharing this video it's absolutely brilliant 👍

Although I was born in 87 and lived in chapel of ease. I Remember quite a few of these road layouts. Quite nice to see the old roads too. 👌

more!!! I want Aberbeeg to Abertillery, then Blaina and beyond if possible, PLEASE lol

Wow 3 lanes , I can’t remember that but I do definitely remember the old layout,before all the roundabouts and Crumlin changes ! Thank you for sharing .

Are the big slabs holding the banking still there hidden by the trees that now occupy?

Great to see a bit of history around waunfawr park

SLOW DOWN when youre passing signs! !

gods country as my dad used to call it, rover p4 by aberbeeg roundabout

Fascinating to see how much has changed.

This is mine and was my late fathers favourite plane. We were sat in his garden that day, chatting over a whiskey and then a shadow was cast on the garden, we turned to see what had caused it, XH558 appeared and flew straight over the top of us......fantastic.

Belle prise

5x more dogs than children ( 0,24min ) you are looking at bright future :)

In the 70’s my Scout group had close liaisons with the local ATC cadets. I was a telecoms engineer and managed to get a sound circuit from the Vulcan cockpit they had outside their hut into the hut. Great for training the airmen and ground crews of today.

Awesome piece of kit.

I was on a temporary duty assignment with the USAF in Goose Bay Labrador babysitting 16 C130. I was on the flight line when I heard a strange aircraft above the overcast. I looked up and saw a Vulcan break cloud and land. He taxied right in front of me. Definitely one of the most beautiful aircraft ever made.

At the last display she flew for us here (Jersey, CI), I left my family and mates to move a little further forward on the hill for a better view, taking my beer with me. I found myself stood right next to a guy who couldn’t have been more of a polar-opposite to me. There’s me, drinking a lager, with my shaved head, swearing like a sailor with excitement l, and there’s this dude, a complete anorak (he was actually wearing a blue anorak) with the thick black-rimmed glasses, huge telephoto lens, you get the jist. After she passed us by, myself and this guy who I’d never met before (or since) looked at each other and we were both in tears, and without a word we both just hugged each other (getting teary-eyed just thinking about that moment), it was a somewhat difficult Ed but strangely beautiful thing. That’s how iconic Vulcan was, it didn’t matter what world you came from or what world you live in, we all felt the same, she had power over us and still holds a special place in our hearts, Thanks for sharing your video 🙂 🤝

Fascinating to see what has changed in 40 years - and how nature has re-established the verges and banks. Many thanks for posting this.

thanx for sharing

What country is this, please?

Homage to James Bond's Thunderball

Brilliant footage. All them old fiestas

The Vulcan was a regular visitor to Abbotsford Air Show in the 60's and 70's ,, those Olympus engines at full throttle ! What a Sound !!

No howling?

When I saw this plane as a child growing up in the sixties I thought even as a child that we had achieved the extent of aircraft technology and nothing was ever going to surpass it.

Waited a long time for sum of the low level flights and was distracted by my girl who wanted to bang instead take pictures of the airplane. Never got any pics of the plane but got sum good pics of my girl. I now take pics of hot woman for OF and instagram. Reply

Reminds me of James Bond Thunderball

What a magnificent sight to see the last ever flight of the Vulcan XH558 flying over Risca In South Wales. I wish i was there to Witness this myself I’d ❤that very much indeed. All the best for 2023 .

What a mighty aircraft!
