I wonder if any Argentinian conscripts in trenches, saw the Vulcan heading in for the bombing run on the Falklands in the 80s. Would be great to hear an eye witness account.
Didn't ever really need bombs. Just the sight and sound of her would be enough to frighten any adversary to death. The howl is not unlike the sound made by the tripods in the War of the Worlds film.
In 1962, a Vulcan Bomber was coming into land at Filton Bristol, ( future Concorde Home) but, the weather was stormy, with very heavy rain and the Vulcan aqua planed and lost stability, so landing was aborted. Suddenly, it seemed to stand on it's tail, and rose almost vertically, on full power, and with colossal noise, rose up like a Monster, with about 60 feet left, before risking smashing through a wire fence and into Petrol Station pumps, that amazingly, had been built along the main A38 road, that ran passed the Airfield. That unearthly 'HOWL' was deffening, and the blast flattened Petrol Pumps and the Kiosk shed there, and blowing some cars off their intended direction. Nobody was hurt, but it was one hell of a scare. I think the Vulcan landed ok at Fairford. ( why didn't those Petrol pumps explode?? ) Heavy rain I suppose.
What an amazing Aircraft, unearthly sounds, like tormented Demons. The sound alone of a few of these Planes at night sure would scare the Enemy into surrender without having to drop any devices.
Makes me feel emotional. As far as I'm aware this clip was over Northumberland and possibly part of the last tour it did. The sound just sounds like it belongs there in the hills like a wolf or something. So bad that we won't hear it again.
My favourites are 1.44 and 1.54, she sounds like she's a lonely prehistoric bird, calling out across the countryside for a mate. I was lucky enough to see her in flight, and hear the howl for real. Absolutely awesome - thanks for sharing this video!
I was lucky enough to see this incredible jet 3 times. I love the Avro Vulcan XH558 and still can not believe I will never see her airbourne again. :-(
I'm not a Brit. Never been fortunate enough to have seen one of these monsters of the cold war. The look and sound of the Tu-95 or B-52 aint nothing compared to this. I can definitely see what you Brits see in her. I share your love for it. She has seduced me with her siren song...a sound no longer to be heard. I imagine the howl could be felt. I imagine that sound sent chills up the spine. Some group of investors could take interest in her, rebuild two or three of them and make a ghost squadron of them...fly them to air shows...let the old retired original pilots have the honors. There's probably not the parts available to make this happen for even ONE airworthy bird, though. The project would quickly approach a one hundred million pound price tag, having to build all new parts, deal with the HUGE maintenance burden. Her Majesty saw fit to retire this for good reason, I'd imagine.
I know this is over 2 years old but England's budgeting is non existant, most of our money either goes to the queen, government or other countries but yes it would be amazing if this bird flew again
@@trashpanda-sg2xh The problem is the airframe is pretty old now - and The only companies that had knowledge of engineering no longer wished to be involved - I suspect a lot of this was related to the Shoreham Airshow crash in 2015 which was the last year the vulcan flew. 11 people were killed in the crash which although attributed to pilot error made the companies pretty nervous about being involved. So it wouldnt be allowed to fly again by the CAA - it still does taxi runs up and down the runway I beleive. Real shame - I work in southampton and one year the vulcan did a couple of flybys of nearby eastleigh airport, and they flew directly over my building - many of us thought the building was falling down - such an amazing noise.
@@theQwertydude1 When it first came into service, it had an altitude ceiling above any russian fighter and out of range of any russian missile, that was the defence
@@matthewhalsall5743 Also supposedly able to out-turn fighters of the day, which is mind boggling for such a large beast, not that was part of it's defence per se.
You Brits are amazing... great country, great culture, great armed forces, great queen, great engineering/technological feats... and it's a Frenchman talking
I can still remember hearing a Vulcan for the 1st time at the age of 12. I'm nearly 40 now and I'm still captivated by this incredible aircraft and the sense of overwhelming power and earth shattering noise it produces
About 2 weeks ago I heard exactly the same kind of sound as at 1:44, except it came from a regular Airbus A319 which was landing and just 5km away from the runway. It was the loudest sound I ever heard a passenger jet make.
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?
If Concorde was the swan..... this was was the bird of death! Built to end the world, thank god she was not used for this purpose.... now a well loved and well respected dragon.
We've run six Olympus tests so far, and I've never heard this howl. Maybe it's the inlets of the Vulcan ? It does sound like it's being made by the compressor. Cool video !
@kie Air getting partially compressed as it goes into the intakes. It starts vibrating along the edges as more air comes in behind it and makes the noise. A similar thing happens to the Hunter with its gun ports.
The engines are set far back in the wings from the intakes at the leading edges. As the high-velocity air flows down the long intakes and into the engines it resonates - and howls.
An amazing piece of British engineering, I remember as a child the feeling of my internal organs busting out of my chest with the noise. I hope one day I will experience it again
The howl sound is caused because the air wants to attach to the wing in laminar flow but it's flow is interrupted by the intakes causing sort of a mini venturi on reversal of flow and thus the howl sound
Magnificent sounds! I've loved this aircraft since 1964 when I 1st saw her. Flying suit emblazoned with any Vulcan badges I could get. Thank you for giving me the pleasure of hearing her "voice" once more. Let's keep her flying if we can!!
The RAF had a squadron of these at Offutt AFB, Nebraska (at the time home to the Strategic Air Command) in the early 60s. I loved watching the Vulcans take off.
She screams, roars n HOWWWWWLLLS like a She Wolf. I was born n brought up with this most awesome of British jet aircraft n am really gonna miss her! :(
I'm so glad I got to see this incredible creature in flight. I saw her once perform at Goodwood Festival of Speed and the other time was a complete fluke - I was driving across Salisbury plain just coming over a huge hill that looks into the valley of Calne and she flew over me being escorted by red arrows on her way to Fairford. It was one of the most incredible moments I've ever witnessed.
I miss this old friend....... I've been at airshows my whole life, seen many Vulcans, but this particular one is so familiar, and such a huge joy to see and hear, even if only on film now. . After all these years, the hairs on the back of my neck stand up, and I have a tear in my eye......
I am always amazed, and also envious, about how the Britishs made a wonderfull work with the "museum" planes, that are actually in lot better conditions than our very few operative planes in the Argentine Air Force. The Vulcan can have several decades old but looks, and sounds, in perfect conditions!
actually the argies were interested in buying the vulcan in the 1970s! it was only vetoed because the vulcan is nuclear capable. otherwise they would have been sold :O black buck was a disaster. 1 bomb 1 time on the end of the runway. the raf could not refuel to save their lives. so after they bought some 2nd hand tristars from british airways. the falklands was won by the army and the navy. the raf were super peeved about that.
@@mrrolandlawrence Black Buck was a statement of intent, and a demonstration of capability. It was a success, never intended to put an end to the war in one fell swoop. The Falklands was always going to be built around the naval response, and nobody seriously has ever felt the RAF had anything to prove.
One of these attended the air show at Westover AFB in Chicopee MA waaaaaay back in the late 60s. It flew in Saturday morning and passed directly over my house at a very low altitude. Even after it was gone you could still hear the slip stream it generated for a few minutes afterwards. Awesome aircraft.
It's always cool when a plane makes a signature sound it can be identified with. America and England have built some awesome planes. This one's looks exactly like what Batman should be flying
I saw and heard the Vulcan landing in SoCal USA 🇺🇲. I couldn't even tell if it was crashing or taking off. She looked like RODAM vs. GONZILLA, Japanese MOVIE'S. 🎬 Beautiful futuristic bomber of the ROYAL AIR FORCE ❤🫡 UNITED KINGDOM 🇬🇧
Saw a Vulcan flying at a Glenview Naval Air Station Air Show int the 60's - will never forget. But thanks for reminding me of the 'howl' - like music. Really brought back memories. What an airplane!
what a beautiful piece of engineering she is, long live the Vulcan bomber, we should of never got rid of her, same as the great HARRIER jet, they are irreplaceable in the R.A.F they will be sorely missed
I remember seeing this plane a few times. Three experiences I remember well are from the Goodwood Festival Of Speed a few years ago, The Duxford Airshow, also a few years ago and on its final flight, when it went over East Midlands Airport. What a plane it was.
The Vulcan was one of those jets that had a charcteristic sound, like the F-104, F-4 and F-105. You can listen that on RUclips as much you want but it never gets any better than to hear and feel it in real life...
I saw the Vulcan fly several times, and I’d forgotten about that ungodly banshee-like howl until I watched “Last Flight Of the Vulcan” with Guy Martin. I’ve never heard anything quite like it in all my years of following aviation. Being a childhood Godzilla fan, I always felt like experiencing the Vulcan in person was almost like watching Rodan incarnate. It felt like it was alive, and it sounded pissed.
I was lucky enough to see it on one of its final flights, it was following the Bristol Channel. God bless him, the pilot was playing to the crowd and that bird was making all the right noises! Just incredible.
I think it was 2014/15 I was staying at my parents who lived on a farm in the middle of nowhere. I was enjoying my morning coffee outside with my dog and heard this demon like sound, looked up and saw this Vulcan fly right over the top of us. It then climbed steeply, banked right and did a long loop and came back over the top of us, I remember the feeling of my rib cage rattling! It was my birthday that day and that was the best (surprise) present I've had
Often come back to this video amongst others to get the slightest bit of Vulcan fix. Hearing it through speakers though is heart wrenching though knowing it'll never be above me again and it is of course not the same
Oh come on! That’s just awesome ! I think if you heard that and you weren’t our friend, it was brown pants time. It’s like the big bad wolf is howling down your door. I love these planes so much.
I saw this at Southend Airshow, can't remember the year, it flew head on toward the beach, then the nose went skyward and the throttles went full on to send it virtually vertical, the sound it made had a physical effect, it just made you stand still. WIll never forget it !
One of the mos tbeautiful planes on the planet. too bad it is retired. For some reason it really scares people due to the sheer size and sound. Far ahead of its time and a victim of politics. Imagine if they made a mark 2 for current day situations as a tactical slightly stealthy bomber (it is fairly stealthy by accident by the way).
Авто/Мото
The scariest looking plane in my opinion. Imagine being on a battlefield or something and hearing the Vulcan roar as it approaches your position....
I wonder if any Argentinian conscripts in trenches, saw the Vulcan heading in for the bombing run on the Falklands in the 80s. Would be great to hear an eye witness account.
Yeah that would be crazy!!
The video really doesn't do justice to the sound it makes as it does those turns/-it really is something you can feel in the ground.
What's even more scary is that it was designed to carry tactical nukes. However, I always thought that this was my favorite RAF aircraft.
Didn't ever really need bombs. Just the sight and sound of her would be enough to frighten any adversary to death. The howl is not unlike the sound made by the tripods in the War of the Worlds film.
It's almost organic in both shape and sound. The closest we ever came to making a dragon.
Shape of a moth, sounds like a t rex

yes
@@borntofart It's a metaphor..ffs
the scariest part of the noise is the fact it wold be followed by a second sun

What do you all mean with "second sun"?

It's the way they could ghost it so quiet and the howl as they open up that i always loved
Sounds like a furiously angry dinosaur...
Definitely... yeah, definitely a Stegosaurus...

A Stegosaurus with a sore bottom...
Toward the end, it sounded like Godzilla..
imagine that at night
I think it was 2014/15 I was staying at my parents who lived on a farm in the middle of nowhere. I was enjoying my morning coffee outside with my dog and heard this demon like sound, looked up and saw this Vulcan fly right over the top of us. It then climbed steeply, banked right and did a long loop and came back over the top of us, I remember the feeling of my rib cage rattling! It was my birthday that day and that was the best (surprise) present I've had
Often come back to this video amongst others to get the slightest bit of Vulcan fix. Hearing it through speakers though is heart wrenching though knowing it'll never be above me again and it is of course not the same
like a prehistoric beast
"I have the POWEEEEEEER"!!
Oh come on! That’s just awesome !
I think if you heard that and you weren’t our friend, it was brown pants time.
It’s like the big bad wolf is howling down your door.
I love these planes so much.
I saw this at Southend Airshow, can't remember the year, it flew head on toward the beach, then the nose went skyward and the throttles went full on to send it virtually vertical, the sound it made had a physical effect, it just made you stand still. WIll never forget it !
One of the mos tbeautiful planes on the planet. too bad it is retired. For some reason it really scares people due to the sheer size and sound. Far ahead of its time and a victim of politics. Imagine if they made a mark 2 for current day situations as a tactical slightly stealthy bomber (it is fairly stealthy by accident by the way).
+mugenjouproject The Vulcan B3 - a larger version with longer range ... as a cruise missile launcher - was never built - budget cuts.
Imagine hearing a demonic howl in the distance followed by a second sun.
What an awesome aircraft :-) and the Banshee wail is just chilling :-)
That is a distinct sound , never heard before...!
Wow.....!
