- Vulcan Bombers last pass at Southport Airshow 2015. The Rolls Royce Bristol Olympus 202 engines howl into full power and she roars into a near vertical climb and does a full upside roll at the top.... the best display I have ever seen her do; because she is over the sea and can push the envelope! a credit to her pilot's skills.
For anyone who's never seen the Vulcan in person, words can't describe how loud it is.
Or the sheer size! Its huge but as manouvarable as a small jet!
But sound can…
@Lucca Coscarelli sound on a video actually can't describe it. The sound is so loud and deep you feel it. It shakes your whole body and makes a weird feeling in your chest- can't describe it
@@InsaneFlying I can recall that feeling. It was from an F-22 Raptor though. Idk how loud this is compared to an F-22, i can only imagine.
@@wowo1005 It's MUCH louder and deeper than any jet fighter. Imagine if a jet fighter is a handgun firing, then the Vulcan is a 50 cal sniper firing.
Like a giant manta ray gliding through the air. Majestic and terrifying at the same time.
and ugly (like everything british)
Announcer: "This is her final fli-"
Vulcan: "Yeah, yeah, shuddup, I talk now."
I am the captain now
lol pretty much
I wish they'd shut up at airshows. Let the planes do the talking...
Yes - it needs a brief intro, but then the announcer can belt up!
@@jimlakey8366 what sort of like talk in our language, but with the aid of a jet engine?
Not a plane in the world sounds as great as the Vulcan. Absolutely awesome. 👍🏻
Tu 95?
@@qarottamaoshmar965 those contra-rotating props sound good, but the Vulcan howl is something to behold. 👍🏻
Su 57 whistle tho
Maybe concorde
I'm sitting here crying after watching this incredible aircraft rip the air, screaming like a banshee. My late father, Ch Tech Joe Gillen, was stationed at Boscombe Down, and worked on Vulcan bombers. (early 1950s) My early memory is of of playing out in the sun when it suddenly became so dark I thought it was night, and its almost silent approach as it was going into land. I remember the noise, heat and wash knocking me off my feet, but I wasn't in the least afraid! My father was so proud to serve in the RAF, and the RAF Benevolent fund brought and arranged the RAF flag on his coffin. Then something extraordinary happened. As the coffin began my Father's final journey, an RAF jet roared overhead. Not planned. not arranged but that moment, amongst all our heighted emotions still brings me to tears. Per ardua ad astra.
such an awesome memory for you! thanks for sharing
Yeah, you brought tears to my eyes because My dad flew in bombers as well as working on them. A bit earlier though, B-17s, and he wrote some poetry about planes and I miss him dearly.
That’s awesome tbh, I currently live next to boscombe down it’s a good airbase
That final flyover in your dad’s presence is exactly how God works. You have two fathers and one of them loves the both of you more than you could ever imagine
@@No-wayjose0 Claptrap, complete claptrap.
I saw the Vulcan at an air show in the UK years ago where it pulled a similar manouver and will never forget the sound of the air ripping apart as it climbed. Brings shivers to my skin even now thinking about it. Beautiful machine.
They were a regular at the Toronto International Airshow when I was a kid. Always made a great impression.
Me too - I was lucky enough to see a Vulcan at the Mildenhall air show years ago. We had seen planes take off all day, then the Vulcan took to the stage and we could not only see it and hear it but feel it!
I saw one at around 1985 in England at RAF Finingly. The pilots were late for the show for some reason . Everybody was looking towards the front where the airshow was taking place expecting them to fly by, but the came from behind and went nearly vertical with everything they had .Never seen so many people scared to death , great show .
Not to Mention every single car alarm were set off last time i saw the Vulcan at a Biggin Hill Air Show
Greenham Common? '74 and '75? I recall that huge delta wing carving across the sky and the howl! The howl!
You don’t watch a Vulcan air show …. You feel it in your bones
I saw one of these at Nellis AFB , Nevada back in the late 70’s. Was there for Red Flag. It left a lasting impression on me. Also got to see some Buccaneers there once. I was at few exorcises back then when the RAF was also there. Once in Cold Lake , Alberta the RAF came with Harriers. They taxied down to where our planes were parked and put on one hell of a show. Seven line abreast rose in unison and did several maneuvers and ended with a bow. I’ll never forget that. I’ve always had respect for the RAF. Some great memories.
The lasting impression being severe hearing loss? :)
Greg Williams It was loud as hell.
The first year a Harrier appeared at the Toronto air show down at the lake the pilot brought it along parallel to the shoreline, slower, slower.. hovered at I'm guessing a few hundred feet at the most and then backed it up to the center of the crowd and turned the nose 90 degrees to the right so he's now facing the crowd. Then he panned the nose left and right like he was looking for someone in the crowd. Finally he bowed the nose to say goodbye and lifted away back to flight mode. That was eery to imagine all that firepower in something that can take its time looking for a particular target. That was so long ago, mid to late 70's but I think that was the same year they brought a Vulcan for a fly by with the bomb bay open, low and slow.
@@charlieross-BRM Regular Vulcan display in England in the 60's was open bomb bay, low n slow and a full power steep climb out. Loud enough to pummel my chest & make grandads false teeth rattle !
Great stories dude 👍🏻
they certainly knew how to make aircraft sinister in the fifties
Sinister she was, something not to get on the wrong side of. And she must have given the wretched Argies the shits when she sorted the runways out on the Falklands.
You think that's sinister, go look at the Victor. That's scary
Modern jets and bombers don't look very friendly either to be honest.
@@christeale5901 As a fact, the RWY remained operational, with the damage repaired within 24 hours. They did not really destroy anything.
I was on the end of Waddington runway with my dad and my uncle my uncle had his dog with him and he was half blind he kept jumping up to grab the plane ,they was 80ft above our heads ,never forget that day.🇬🇧
When you've got it, you've got it! Good work across the pond.
That howl gives me an eargasm! What an amazing aircraft !!
What a beautiful aircraft
Its better to use your eyes and not your ass
What the actual fuck
What the **** is that meant to mean?@@aloskss
God knows, this was 4 years ago. I don't even know how it got 5 likes in the first place@@taefravis
Props to the camera man! He did a damn good job keeping the lens on target and fairly steady, especially with the zoom level towards the end.
Flew directly over my house at very low level, (i am on top of a hill) on the last ever display flight. I could see every detail on the undercarriage and the noise, incredible, air splitting.
Not only did she howl like lucifer opening the gates of hell but she climbed like a homesick angel and m rolled inverted as well!
Got to love the best of British heavy metal!
fuzzdmedic well put my man
I’ve heard the the Grim Reaper has a tattoo of the Vulcan on his arm.....
Sounded like the T-Rex from Jurassic Park
This feels like it doesn’t actually have enough power, and is instead fueled by pure rage as it screams at the world, scaring it into letting the plane do whatever it wants
I wouldn't have believed it was possible to get poetic about a Vulcan but you managed it. I wish I'd written it.
I remember these planes flying over northern 1970s Germany at about 150 metres. They were loud, kind of suddenly overhead, very large indeed and utterly impressive.
The handling of the Vulcan has always made me amazed at how such a big bird can do those moves! Gives me goosebumps every time I hear that howl and see it flying in that way!
Just the finest aircraft ever built. The looks, the performance and that howl. Unbeatable.
They used to practice low level runs in Labrador and the USAF practiced trying to intercept them. They gave the F-102's a run for their money
We once got a call from an MCL helicopter that a Vulcan went under him 😀
Standing on a hill in the farmers field outside RAF Leucjhars in the early 80's as the air show was unfolding.
The field was at the end on the runway. The Vulcan flew the length of the runway at 500 ft to give the spectators a good view.
As it approached the end of the runway it started its vertical climb right above us. The noise and vibrations shook the ground and our lungs.
It is one of life's memorable experiences that does not leave you.
The sight, sound and visceral feeling of this phenomenon is abstract beyond belief!
Never forget seeing the Vulcan for the first time in the James Bond movie "Thunderball" (1965). I thought it was awesome then - still do.
I remember seeing one as a kid. It did a fly over at an air museum in England that I visited on a school trip. It It was incredible.
First time I ever saw one, it was low level flying over my house :) The 1980's rocked!
Back in 1966 my family was brought to Glenrothes, Scotland from the US for my father's job. We were there for a year. I went to school there. Many groups of three Vulcans sometimes 1 would fly overhead at low altitude. I think there was an air force base in the area. As an American I had never seen anything like them. I was in awe and got weak in the knees every time I was able to see them flyover. Words just can't describe the experience. And the sound of the engines was a sound that came only from the Vulcan. I'm back in the States and was saddened when they were taken out of service. A definite one of a kind!
Canadian National Exhibition Air Show, Toronto ON, on the shore of Lake Ontario, way back...... The Vulcan was there; The last manoeuvre it did was a demonstration of "how we get away in a hurry" (announcer). The Vulcan had gone north over the city, turned south, passing low over the show grounds again. As it reached the shoreline, the afterburners were lit up. I was in a perfect place to look straight up the pipes. An unbelievable sight, sound, as it went to ""warp speed"" heading up and away! Rule Britannia!
I saw the Vulcan many times, and every time was just like the first. Goose bumps. I'm proud to be English when I see what they can produce when needed.
The British are the greatest warriors and most feared in the world when they have a reason. Problem is nobody has punched them on the nose for a while.
@@gregoryconnor9333 so true mate.
@@gregoryconnor9333 i dont think people are all that afraid of them lol
I couldn't agree with you more.
This plane was classed as a long range strategic bomber! It flew half way around the world to bomb a small air strip in a small set of islands in the South Atlantic, and carried part of our nuclear deterrent. In addition, It can do a bit of loop de loop if asked.
Why was that Beauty ever mothballed. I was once fortunate enough to see both a Vulcan and a Concorde flying. What an experience never forgotten ✈️
I used to be an Airframe Tech in the RAF and I never forget one day waiting to cross the runway threshold at the traffic lights at RAF Waddington in a coach. They stopped us as QRA scramble was called. (Quick Reaction Alert) involving no less than FOUR VULCANS taking off simultaneously! So there we were at the end of the runway as SIXTEEN OLYMPUS engines all HOWLED UP and they screamed into the sky. The ground SHOOK but all of us in the coach CHEERED.
Fabulous comment sir, I had a similar experience in Greenlaw near Kelso at my mums cousins caravan park on the river Black Adder, 3 Vulcans at howled over us at 150ft hugging the valley floor, I was stood in the doorway and the caravan nearly came off its legs.... awesome sight and sound I will never forget.
I remember the Vulcan fondly from my childhood and I know RAF Waddington quite well as my dad was stationed there for a while and he worked on the Vulcan bomber. It is a truly great amazing piece of British engineering. It is deeply missed.
Wow. My heart was in my mouth when he did that rollover!
Richard Gatecliffe Photography and she was a bomber!!!
I visited the Seychelles in 1976 for the independence celebrations. A Vulcan flew in and I managed to get a look on board! Amazingly small cabin for such a large aircraft! Great experience!
I love that sound!
yeah from about 30secs till about 40secs magnificent noise...
I love it to.
One aircraft that could bring a tear to the eye. The aircraft that everyone wanted to see at an airshow.
Just imagine, a Vulcan flying with a pair of Lightnings. It would have been unbeatable.
Heaven only knows what we would use as a bomber today if there was a need for one. The US seem to
keep their aircraft in service much longer than we do in the UK. Just look at the age of the B-52s and F-15s
RAF Leuchars air show in 1969. Two squadrons based there at the time ( I believe 111 was one of them) equipped with EE Lightnings and F4s. I remember the Vulcan making my internal organs vibrate!
Just saw a KC-135 on flightradar24 circling east of Kabul. 62 years old!!
@Karl with a K apparently over here we're a little more careful with our pilots XD supposedly, anyway.
I couldn’t believe the year Vulcan came to an end we’d just pulled on the drive at home & I heard something very different in the sky it was Vulcan straight across in front of our house low flying what an honour and a privilege I couldn’t believe my eyes. The last time I saw Vulcan was ‘77 I think at RAF Finningley when Concorde landed & flew with the Red Arrows, the only air show I ever went to, I’d be about 6 & a half. The following week on the exact same flight path so emotional I mean how do you top Vulcan ? Something did it was the Lancaster now that gets your emotions & with all respect to the Vulcan that is super special Lancaster is a God of the skies, what a sight a beautiful sight & a beautiful sound. My grandfather was in the RAF in WWII based in india & my Uncle was a rear gunner in a Lancaster, both fantastic gentlemen no longer with us that I miss dearly. Lest we forget our family & history as these things are so important to remember ❤️
Thank you for this. Im so glad i got to see her perform in person. Its nice to have videos like these to keep the memories alive.
I was at Southport that day too. What a display to say 'goodbye'... 😔
I was there too...just to hear her roar one more final time..very sad she's not up flying where she belongs 😢
Terrifying looking plane. Imagine what the looked like in the 80s to the Argentines.
They never saw her or heard her.
totally agree, but look at the HP Victor head on, truly evil..
The Victor is absolutely the most evil looking plane ever. Straight from Hell and utterly wonderful.
I was a newbie stationed in Italy. One of my first refuels was a Vulcan. The most impressive bird I have ever seen!
Somewhere along the lines of "They flew all that way, and missed the runway with everything...LOOK OUT, HERE COMES A SEA HARRIER WITH ONE BOMB!"
Seeing that reminds me of flying displays of the 60s. The noise and size of the Vulcan, the EE Lightning standing on its tail on reheat and rattling your chest, happy memories as a kid.
Saw this plane in NZ in 1959. I was 9 when it flew over my school. Loved it ever since. Saw the Handley Page Victor over my school about the same time. Totally awesome.
I saw an RAF Vulcan the same year in New Zealand at the opening of Wellington Airport. It came in low from the south over the sea but the pilot misjudged his height and hit an undercarriage leg on the sloping threshold. Immediate full throttles and he managed to get it off and fly it to the RNZAF base 80 miles away. There were thousands of people at the opening so we were very fortunate he had the skills to get it away safely. Big powerful engines helped too!
I remember seeing a similar display at RAF ST Athans in South Wales it came in from across the sea and made a vertical climb causing the floor to almost shake , car alarms to go off children shaking in their boots . Never forgotten the best air display i have ever seen . Would never want to be on the receiving end of one of these beasts .
The most beautiful airplane. Ever
is the spitfire. (i think your keyboard cut off before you were finished bud :))
SR-71
Saab J-35 Draken.
@@commanderstraker1082 good but not quite
Saw one of these flying low over Omaha on its way to Offutt airbase, will never forget, nothing else looks like a Vulcan.
One of the most memorable moments of my life, being directly under one as it went vertical. The heat from trust was like being blasted with a flame thrower and the noise was so loud I couldn't hear myself think. Fantastic aircraft for its time and light years ahead of the competition.
A sound you will never forget once you hear it as a kid. Loved seeing these in the 1970's fly over our house in Castleford heading for Ferrybridge then home.
Absolutely beautiful plane, saw it once at RAF Leuchars in Fife, Scotland. The pilot was moving it around like a rag doll, one of the craziest beautiful sights I’ve ever seen
Might be the beer talking but that is the loveliest thing I’ve seen today
Great filming, perfect position, awesome aircraft👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
FEKIN AWESOME! Before i retired i was a telecoms cable jointer. One summers day many year's ago i was working on a large cable at the side of the A1 adjacent to RAF Dishforth, bright sunshine turned to shade, as i looked up there she was, the Vulcan....in perfect silhouette blotting out the sun, incredible.
Ah Dishforth! Spent many a night there night flying in the seventies whilst based at Leeming.
How much do we all miss her ? Thanks for the memories, but should still be flying. Beautiful
When l was a child my family used to go to Leuchers air show every year during the 1970’s. The commentator would say ‘Ladies and gentlemen.......the Avro Vulcan’ and it would come over low and slow just like this, before powering into a steep climb. The concrete shook beneath our feet and it seemed that the sound would never end. The Vulcan and the F104 Starfighter were my favourites.
I remember seeing her back in the 80’s as a kid during our local air show...the sound....that and the Voodoo were both gave me a woody when they powered up.
Breathtaking engineering. Something that will never happen again.
Oh! What beauty………………….Nothing like it again. EVER!!!!!!!
I was fishing near Eastleigh Airport years ago when I heard an unearthly noise!!! Really Really loud, I looked round and saw a massive plane climbing, I didn't know what plane it was, but I later found out it was a Vulcan bomber!! I've heard the howl first hand!! What an honor !!
Incredible how a heavy strategic bomber can perform like that..... stunning 😮
I will NEVER get tired of that sound
Beautiful big birds and what a noise, fantastic. Have seen them quite a few times and I'm always impressed 🙂
That is the spookiest looking bomber.
That silhouette at the beginning...there's something terrifying and otherworldly about it. You think it's a plane, but you can't really make out any livery or features - just a ghost in the sky howling in the distance like a bird of prey. You don't know its next move, but its getting closer...
A huge thank you to all the talented British scientists, engineers, etc., who contributed so much to the success of America's Apollo Moon program.
They employed a lot of Canadians who left Canada after the Avro Arrow was scrapped.
I saw the Vulcan back in the 70s at Willow Grove Naval Air Station and it was an awesome flight by, the earth tremble under our feet
Kudos and full respect to that cameraman, well done whoever you are
👍
You gotta respect a bomber doing that in such style :)
I was at that airshow - amazing experience standing underneath its flight path that afternoon.
The Vulcan has to be the most sinister looking and sounding plane of all time
StuKa
I think it's only rival is the Stuka and the A-10. Vulcans were like pure harbingers of doom.
I remember when the RAF had a squadron of Vulcan bombers stationed at Offutt AFB in Omaha Nebraska in '79 and early 1980's. I had the pleasure of knowing maintenance and flight crews then. It was quite an experience.
What a beautiful British plane one of the best ever made.
1,000,000 rivets all doing their job haha.
Wow! You captured XH 558 at her very best ! What a way to bow out! Thankyou.
So smooth for something so big & powerful. That's one top pilot.
This IS the flying machine that most of us go to air shows to see.. She sounds absolutley beautiful and looks even better...........................Bring her back for the crowds.
i remember during the Falklands War i saw a cartoon referencing the record breaking bombing run the Vulcan did there. It had two Argentine soldiers in a trench while the Vulcan blotted out the sun. One said to the other 'If that is the size of their fighters, how big is their aircraft carrier?!'
Many years ago my wife and I would spend an evening sat on the cliffs at Bempton and Flamborough watching the seabirds. The Vulcan was very much operational and every evening at dusk one would fly gracefully, low and slow like giant moth out over the North Sea on patrol. I swear to this day that once away from land and out of sight the crew would have a "play". You could hear those engines howl then shut down then howl again as they put the aircraft through its paces. Thank God we all remember the howl and not the effectiveness of the bombs it might have dropped.
What a gorgeous plane!! Amazing.
A truly amazing but also iconic aeroplane ..-along with its sisters the victor and valiant 👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
That’s a howl! And props to the pilot, that is talented flying in a 50+ year old airframe
The most beautiful and effective bomber ever designed.
Beautiful to say the least, seems like an understatement really
Once seen never forgot. I was in my teens when i saw one at the Henlow air show in the UK. I remember it standing on its tail & powering into the sky, the ground shook & my young cousin burst into tears, it scared the life out of him! And that howl, i wont ever forget that!
I was there that day. She set off all the car alarms. Glorious day.
Saw the Vulcan at Bournemouth air show several years ago we had our grandson with us and he still remembers it vividly, the rails shook the sea moved and we heard that wonderful roar of her throaty
Amazingly beautiful plane.
The first time, I saw the Vulcan and heard those loud engines. It looked like Rodam from those Japanese movies. June 1976 on take-off from SoCal USA 🇺🇸
Fantastic footage. Nice one. Great sound too👍🏻
Once seen never forgotten , a mighty bird of the sky .
Everyone gangsta till the tailgate opens.
Poetry in motion. *The* most iconic jet bomber of the 20th century.
It's a very sad that children of today will never hear the the mighty Vulcan howling in real life, brings a tear to my eyes when I watch videos of the old girl
Because the living with the threat of nuclear annihilation is a good thing.
@@SMlFFY85 it didn't just carry nuclear bombs you know. The Vulcan is a beautiful aircraft and its iconic howl is something.
Rolls Royce Olympus Engines 😍😍😍
Absolutely one of the most elegant aeroplanes ever.
XH558. The Beautiful old girl. I so miss seeing her grace our skies and hearing that howl. Ain't quite the same watching on a tablet 😔😭
Fly it over Hicksville USA and the residents would be talking about aliens.
fly that plane anywhere in the U.S, and the MUFON network will light right up!!
You don't think all the bigfoot sightings just happen on their own, do you? Some has to fly them around.
It did fly over the USA in exercises in the early 1960s and succeeded in simulated nuclear attacks ... twice ruclips.net/video/-Wx6npt421c/видео.html
Hell, they might just shoot it down for fun.
@@slaughterhouse5585 if they can aim good enough....
Stunning Aircraft, The "Howl" of the engines is stunning!!!
I saw a Vulcan do this at a Biggin Hill airshow during the 80's. I swear I could feel the heat from the exhaust.
I was driving down a minor road in Co.Durham windows open and heard the Vulcan so I pulled over and jumped out, my other half thought I was losing it when the Vulcan went over us, it was magnificent, totally magical and something I will never forget.
One of the two most beautiful planes of all time. The other being the De Havilland Mosquito.
Avro Arrow.
We were lucky to have seen this beautiful aircraft on her last tour round Britain at the Ayr Airshow. What an unforgettable sight and sound, majestic and magical, just wonderful...
The Vulcan and Concorde came from the era where grace and style were just as important as function.
Best vulcan video ever
Ahhhh the sound of freedom
@cryhavoc999 Indeed. The V-force guaranteed the nuclear peace for a critical time in the Cold War. Much respect to the Engineers and Bomber Command of the RAF V-Force.
That and the Harrier will go down in history! They should have updated the both! Brilliant!
A great salute to the V bombers, all that time and money and effort to get her in the air again just to ground her again, a real life shame!!!!!!!!!!!
Ross White . I live 10 minutes from where she is displayed at RAF Waddington. The hairs on the back of my neck stand up every time I drive past.
The one displayed near the road at Waddington, isn't XH558.
The one at Waddo is that actual bomber that attacked the runway at Port Stanley during the Falklands conflict.
Really nice video especially to have the with the foreground with people etc which gives sense of scale. What a sound.
