Greetings from North Carolina, USA. Thank you for all that you are doing to keep this amazing bird running. I can only imagine the hours/money required to keep her howling! Great job! Cheers, Josh
Awesome! Growing up on RAF stations I took it for granted watching these jets flying around. Much respect to the team that makes this happen I know it take s a lot of effort to keep the big bird in shape. 🙂
I saw the prototype fly way back at the SBAC show and saw XH558 flying 5 times in her last year. Great to watch this video from begining to end. What can you say beyond WOW. Thank you so much.
Enjoyed as instructed 😁 From seeing these fly as a kid to supporting XH558 with a fly in using our R44 for Pete Rigby's Coventry re-opening Help for Heroes event for I've 'followed their journey'.
I remember as a kid driving past Scampton , up the Lincoln Ramper , and watching seven or eight of these aircraft take off on after the other .. must have been something like 60 years ago maybe.
I second this inquiry! Is it a parts availability issue or is there just no desire there in the UK to keep one flying? Would be cool to have one last flying copy making the airshow circuits. I have the same wish for our native F-14 tomcat here in the states. Should have NEVER sold them to Iran otherwise we would still have a few flying.
It’s multiple issues including parts, qualified mechanics and pilots, money! but there might well be an airframe lifespan issue where vast numbers of components, namely wing spars, would have to be replaced.
Amazing aircraft. The commitment of everyone that is working to keep this bird running is inspirational.
She's looking really smart!
The amount of hard work and dedication poured into her really shows.
Oh how I’d love to see it fly again, great to see it being kept alive and just down the road too, great work and true passion.
Aircraft looks and sounds in fine shape. Well done the Engineering Team.

This is my era's Millennium Falcon. Love , health and respect from Scotland UK.
Looks better than when I worked on her in service. Feels like yesterday.
What a fabulous aircraft she is, thank you.

Lovely to see the team light her up again well done
Wow what an interesting video. Would have loved to be there live. Also what beautiful airfield.
Stunning Andy!

It was amazing to go and watch
Never give up lads, awesome aircraft, always will be, truly British. 👍🔥🔥👍✈️✈️🔥
She’s in fantastic condition, well done to everyone who keeps her alive
Brilliant
Is it destined to fly again?
No
I once watched one of these beasts taking off at an airshow. The word 'loud' doesn't do the experience justice. It basically rips the air apart.
Subscribed. I fly this in VR.

Wow! A Red Arrows displays of Vulcans? 😁
Would be amazing if they just lifted off instead of cutting the power hahah. Amazing job lads! Keeping her in great condition
She sounds good. Hopefully a test flight is next. I believe HRH Charles flew one of these 50 years ago.
50 years ago King Charles was flying a Wessex V helicopter on 845 Naval Air Squadron. I was on the Squadron at the time
What are the 'engineer switches' for ?
I know it cost a lot of money too keep these beautiful airplanes up there in the sky but why can’t we have these planes flying again

Fly it, dicking around on ground.
Is this the same run where the local resident wants the government to stop the tests due to causing disruption and distress to locals
Not the same as a flying one 😔
Not flying anymore, left out in the open at disused Robin Hood airport rotting sadly, not even engine run ups :-( such a waste
What a waste. Almost like a personal Concorde for you and your buddies. A private citizen should buy one and use it. Travolta or Tate or somebody.
I heard they spent £10,000 on fuel, what a waste of money. its about time they sent it for scrap.
You’re wasting oxygen and electricity posts your comments, so maybe we should scrap you. 🙄
