In the sixites we had all the good looking aircraft. The beautiful little Folland Gnat, the muscular looking Buccaneer, the sleek Hunter, the all business super quick Lighting, and then the 'V' bombers, Valiant, Victor & Vulcan. All British with the exception of the shark nose Phantom of the Royal Navy.
Thank you bobsurgranny for this upload. I'm off to Norwich Airport a bit later today, this grand old beauty is visiting briefly for what is likely to be the last time. XH558, I'll miss you so much.
Sexiest bomber every built! Still remember the first time I saw the Vulcan as a kid doing a low level turn at an airshow in Ft. Worth, TX. No other bomber was the same after that!!
I remember as an air cadet with 481sdn we went to raf gaydon air display in the 1970s, at the time it was still an operating base , 4 Vulcans took off on a quick scramble , the floor shook and we were all deaf for 5 mins , but what an experience !!!
I remember seeing a Vulcan at an airshow in the '70s - came over us from behind and then climbed as steeply as it could - one of the loudest things I've ever heard, the ground shook.
I remember seeing one at Farnborough in 64 -terrifying noise , Lightening was quite a shock too- you don't realise the power of that noise till you experience it , it seems to go straight through your body ! Awesome , as they say ...............Wales UK PS .I liked the white ones .
1:00 in ,Have you noticed how she seems to have a squared-off nacelle on the stbd. side just at the exhausts , where the pt. ones are separate ?? Wales UK
Unfortunately no need for nuclear-capable bombers like this when you have ICMB's. As for the conventional bombing role, well, that can be handled much better by smaller aircraft.
@@thelwulfeoforlic6482 Unfortunately good looking vehicles don't win wars. All then end up doing is requiring excessive maintenance and wasting taxpayers money. Not to mention being out-dated and easily defeated.
Oscar Muffin - please read what I said! Are you suggesting that we send “The City Of Lincoln” into a war zone, she’s 75 years old? Of course not in your words she’d “be easily defeated”, BUT the RAF spend time and money keeping her airworthy; unfortunately the ‘Air Historical Branch’ don’t have the resources to keep XH558 flying, if merely for the pure poetry she is in both sound as well as vision.
Yeah it was, I thought it was much better than the Saturday display, I mean just listen at 1:02. Not often they use the power on a low flypast like that!
bobsurgranny, Please, PLEASE, LANDINGS!!! How come that in this video YOU FILMED THE TAKE OFF FROM THE THRESHOLD (THANK YOU FOR THAT), and you DON´T CAPTURED THE LANDING TO THE TOUCHDOWN?

We made the best planes without a doubt, and all way ahead of time.
It climbs like a fighter, it turns like a fighter, so it must be a Vulcan! Fantastic!
I can watch these all day,great video.
Can never have enough of the Vulcan. Glad you enjoyed watching 👍
ONE OF LIFE'S GREATEST SIGHTS AND SOUNDS.
sure is,,

Probably some of the best footage of the old girl on youtube!
Pleased you enjoyed watching 👍

Brilliant bit of filming ,never seen one perform like this.Thanks for a great upload !

That must have been amazing to see and hear the Vulcan in the 70s 🖖

Excellent clips .....well filmed....Steve.
FABULOUS footage! even picked up a large amount of rudder correction on landing!
This is going on my favorites!
Beautiful! Good distraction from world concerns for a few minutes R&R❤️👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
reading below and agreeing with every word .. used to be proud to live in this country , nah no more ..
The greatest aircraft off all time and I seen the lovely avro vulcan xh-558 ❤ 8 times 😊
It did a little display for us at digby for Trent wing air cadets and the progressed a bit down the road to do a full display at waddington
And Fanny's your aunt....but seriously,there's been loads of footage of this Grand Old Lady...and this stands with the best of it!
Fantastic plane !!!

4:41 look at those fools by the red & white fence, especially that one with the floppy hat ;)
The only fool is you,they watched something really special.
I was there, brilliant day, it set every car alarm as it passed.
jesus christ that take off was impressive
Eu acho esse avião muito lindo!
One question about the Vulcan bobsurgranny. Is it louder than a Eurofighter typhoon? Lots of people say the Vulcan is the loudest plane
Way louder than the Typhoon yes. I would say with jet noise it really depends how close you are to them and also how much power is being applied
The first plane is Turkey
👍👌💪
UK should have kept the Vulcan as the US did with their B-52.
John Johansen they ain’t on the same budget bro 😂

Oscar Muffin - using that argument why keep the Lancaster flying; something’s beauty can transcend their usefulness

Loudest plane in the world but we will never hear her again
Ok, was it just loud, or pretty ?$%""!!! Loud?
Some say, the Vulcan is one of the loudest aircraft..
Really good Vids by the way :)
That first flypast was the loudest I've heard it since it's comeback in 2007. It was loud but I reckon they could give it plenty more.
JUST VERY GOOD !! ;) :))
those people on the fence could have lost there heads, especially after what happened with that typhoon!!!!
What happened.
was this a Sunday?
Yeah it was, I thought it was much better than the Saturday display, I mean just listen at 1:02. Not often they use the power on a low flypast like that!
Yeah I was there Saturday and couldn't agree more it was so much noise from that display well done Bill and Bill lol
Seems so slow but so loud
A vulcan demo without a howl.
This is a crime.
Well it's real.. can't make it happen haha
You should film this plane because it's very slow
Than any bomber jet

+MrCapi55 I move around a lot!

hola
Only the pilot and the copilot can eject. the other flight crew cannot and will die if this jet goes down!
No, there is a hatch behind the pilots that can allow the crew to escape but it is only big enough for one man at a time
good men died in some of those things when crashes happened due to not being able to get out. It is on record.
