And then someone decided we could buy things cheeper from other countries and that's the way it's been ever since. We all like cheep and don't like paying taxes it would seem. In that process we lose so much.
My father actually saw this display. I never realised that it was THIS good. I've seen fighters put on a less impressive performance. Thanks for uploading
Watched a Vulcan (558 I think but couldn't swear to it) on TV at a US air display. Can remember the narrator saying - as the Vulcan both climbed and rolled like a fighter - "Ladies and gentlemen, please remember this is a BOMBER!!!" I do remember, many years ago, when in a joint exercise, several Vulcans attacked New York with atomic bombs (dummy of course.) Two got through US defences - quite enough for the job. Frightening.
I can at least recall Vulcan displays in the 80's and 90's. The howl would bring tears to my eyes. That thing was thrown around the airshow circuit like a nimble fighter jet, and sometimes it just seemed to hang in the air as if it was being suspended from invisible wires.
I was serving at RAF Bruggen in Germany when the Vulcan retired. A Vulcan did a flyover at all the RAF stations. After his flyover he did a roller landings pointed it skywards and opened up. the hairs stood up on the back of my neck as the world shook, as I watched as it disappear almost vertically, a never to be forgotten experience. The station came to a standstill to watch.
My late father was a Vulcan Navigator on 101 & 27 squadron & was chief instructor on the 230 OCU in the 70s. His crew were often tasked with various air show duties. He could never quite understand the admiration of the audience when they pulled up and disembarked and spoke to the crowd. RIP Flt Lt S.R Vittles
If you were at Scampton in the early 70s, do you remember a Vulcan pilot trying out a vertical rocket-style from a low slow flyby the Hangars then straight up, shaking the hangars and making us chaps racing to get out before they fell down all for the air display at Finningly?
I lived not far from where the Vulcan was made and watching her at the local air show. There were three aircraft that always stopped the show, the Vulcan, the Harrier and the English Electric Lightning.
I used to live in Biggin Hill and watched what must have been some of the last displays the Vulcan gave at the annual air show. One year, some lads had climbed into the trees across the road from the southern end of the runway, i was standing on the grass verge next to the road. The Vulcan approached from the south, low into the valley so it could swoop up and across the runway at a very 'marginal' altitude. It was unbelievably low and I can still remember the backwash from the jets. Suffice to say the lads had sheepishly climbed down from their vantage point which I guess had been a little too close for comfort. Just the most amazing machine to watch.
I went to school in the 1970s right under the flight path of the now sadly gone Woodford Aerodrome. Victors Vulcans Nimrods all came over really low to land just over 2 miles away. Teachers had to stop talking as they passed overhead. Great days for me as an aircraft enthusiast. Thanks for uploading great memories ❤
I wasn't physically at that airshow. But back then, Farnborough would occupy most of a day's TV. I was young, and never took my thrilled eyes off that screen. I think I own an entire rivet on XH558 - best I could do in contribution in my retirement. And the 'scream'? OMG...
I was there as a young teenager ..what a show what heroes these test pilots were. Names never to be forgoten. Not forgeting that amazing aeroplane. Thank you.
Two Vulcans wow indeed,a plane born to fly and roar its howl whilst being thrown around Forgetting with contempt that it is supposed to be a Bomber not a fighter, so impressive.
Good lord, that’s astonishing. I was lucky enough to see the Vulcan of the Vulcan display flight at Woodford for the last few years. Would have loved to see this display, that was astonishing.
Health & Safety . . . pah!!!!! We sure knew how to put on an airshow back then, absolutely fantastic and good to see more footage of the Tin Triangle double rolling👍👍👍👍 Can remember Hunters doing that same "to the floor" high speed flypast, it was literally at eye level, the smell of burnt jet fuel wafting into the crowd and the sound following on many seconds after. No earplugs, safety goggles - they'd have a fit today😲😲🫣🫣
Blimey ! hasn't anyone told that Vulcan it's a bomber and not a fighter 😱, seriously effortless manoeuvres and that howl makes my hair stand on end, love it. ♥.
I was a serving airframe tech when the mighty Vulcan was in service along with so many GREAT BRITISH aircraft like the Lightning, Shackleton, Nimrod, Victor, VC-10 Harrier, etc sadly now the last Canberra was retired I dont believe the RAF has ANY British aircraft. I was luck yot witness at close hand a QRA scramble at Waddington 16 Olympus engines ROARING into the sky. That famous Vulcan harmonic HOWL is spine tingling! I think it shook the whole station! GREATLY MISSED. A group of us tried to buy one when they were retired - sadly the deal fell through but another group bough her - XH558 so she was put BACK in the sky for a few years very pleased to see that.
The sad demise of the great British aircraft industry. I think it is a bit harsh though to say the Typhoon is not British without qualifying that it is a part British multinational project.
@@scopex2749 Watched an astonishingly noisy Shackleton at an airshow, no memory now of where. When she overflew at low level - seemingly impossibly slowly - it was like that starship scene from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." Once it was landed and on display, I was entertained hear one of the aircrew describe his machine to an onlooker - "Basically a collection of nuts and bolts, sir, flying in loose formation !"
My Dad practiced and used LABS in the B47 squadrons he was assigned to before he transitioned to B52s. He always spoke very respectfully of the Vulcans.
I was under one of these incredible planes as it did a low level pass and then an almost vertical climb. My eardrums literally ached and the ground vibrated. Terrifyingly awesome.
Living in South Wales I saw so many of them back in70's 80's. Due to RAF St Athens. The air display on this video is something else, done at time before 'elf and safety put in so many rules and regs. For the common good of course but what a display.
Hell, I was there with my old dad and his pal (ex Lancaster aircrew.) I was eight years old. RAF display team was the Black Arrows with Hawker Hunters and the noisiest beast was the Fairey Rotodyne.
Fantastic. When we were kids in the 1960’s our parents would take us to the Halfpenny Green air show every year. Saw some legendary aircraft but always got extra excited when we knew the Vulcans were coming. Thanks for sharing the video ❤
Amazing to see how the Farnborough site has developed down the decades. Great to see that these historical documents have preserved the capabilities of these large British bombers. Excellent "howl" at 2:51 as the B2 climbs out. Amazing recording from (presumably) Television transmission - or a coloured documentary?). What a commentary - finishing with a mention of the "new" NA39 - the Buccaneer.
And you'll find that video of the Buccaneer on my channel! The footage would've been taken from the live broadcast in 58 - it's clearly been copied a few times before I got it sadly. I've then restored and colourised it as best I can.
That's when we knew how to innovate, 1941 Avro Lancaster, 1952 Avro Vulcan, a bomber that could barrel roll like a fighter. And the damn thing *still* looks futuristic!
I often wonder what it must have been like growing up in the 50's and 60's with never ending advances in aviation. Must have been dizzying with something new almost weekly
I lived about a mile and a half from Stanstead back in the early 50's and remember the Javelins and Meteors doing 'circuits and bumps' and the converted bombers of the Imperial flying school training ex-airforce pilots to become 'civvy' pilots. Yes they were heady days but little did we know what was on the horizon - 1961, Duncan Sandys and his 'White Paper'. In one fell swoop he annihilated the whole British aircraft industry. We never recovered! That, chaps, was the beginning of the dismantling of Britain. We had just over 2 million armed forces personnel, today we can barely raise 75000. Not enough!
Indeed! - Boys' comics had regular features on the topic, with cutaway diagrams etc. Seems strange to think this stuff actually made the TV news in those days!
I was lucky to see a Vulcan display at Woodford Aerodrome near Poynton in Cheshire (now a massive housing estate). Hard to overestimate how powerful an impression this amazing aircraft had on me - and the whole astonished crowd of spectators staring goggle-eyed into the sky at this gravity-defying performance...
Oh for the days of the great airshows. I remember seeing a Lightning at Bentwaters that took off and went straight up to 30,000 ft. and a Royal Navy Phantom doing a display all at low level and at high speed....
Back in the days when engines smoked right, demos were flown right and commentators commentated right. I hope that piece of film is going to be preserved and restored. As briefly mentioned by the narrator, those loop and roll out manoeuvres are actually the "lob-bombing" technique for delivering a nuclear weapon back in the day: chuck the bomb high in the air from a low level approach, roll out, head back down and scarper at low to avoid the the gamma ray burst.
RAF Finningley Battle of Britain day set piece. A Vulcan 4 ship scramble meant #1 Airborne, #2 just rotating, #3 rolling down the runway, #4 starting it's roll. From the flare gun start to all four gone juat a few short minutes 16 Olympus engines at full bore, once felt never forgotten...
Building the new Airfix 1/72 scale 'Black Buck' kit at the moment...and highly recommended...Great kit and it's a good size...You get to really appreciate the shape of that wing
That is what you call excess power. A good demonstration of the power they had on tap. When they were using a Vulcan as a test bed for the Concorde's uprated Olympus engine the pilot displayed the test aircraft with its main engines at idle and the one in the bombay providing sufficient power to fly a similar display to this.
The stick was insisted on by Roly Falk because as Chief Test Pilot he said if he had to 'bang out' he didn't want to leave his legs behind. @mothmagic1
saw one howl by at Bentwaters airshow ,memorable. At that show i remember a plane had an oil leak and a wallah brought over a 45 gallon drum on a Sherpa truck to fill it up
Sorry to burst your bubble but the Vulcan was one of the first aircraft designed with computers - specifically a Ferranti Mark 1 which weighed 4.5 tons!
Trying to work out what the exhaust trail is outboard of the engines on the starboard wing of the B2. Looks too dark just to be vapour. These ladies were always amazing crowd pleasers at any airshow. I saw its swan song with two Lancasters at Great Gransden. Wow! Just wow!❤
It most certainly was, One year they had a Vulcan land that had left Canada that am Before the Cadets could surround it with barriers the public were wandering around under it. And it was dripping fuel. Mild panic and much shouting by the ground guys..
Might have made a decent interceptor. Quick to high altitude, plenty of flying and loitering time, room for *lots* of weapons including nuclear air-to-air, maneuverable, plenty of room for powerful radars; perhaps a bit slow. Would have been a good blocker for Russian Bears back in the day.
Hi ColdWarJets, do you know if there is any footage in existence of XA903 with a Concorde engine slung underneath it at Farnborough 1968? My dad was there and often talks about how amazing it was! Thanks for all these great videos!
Wonderful.
Produced by a nation that had pride and respect and ambition.
not now
@@seansands424well said. You have been a great disappointment to our great nation.

How do you determine the sex of an airplane?
I can determine a numpty comment when i read one.

I’m Australian, born 1940 and they were heady days in aviation growing up in the 40s and 50s. Seems like a dream now.
How were you born in 1940 and still alive?
Your time on this planet should have expired long ago if you were born in 1940.
@ good genes. Nothing unusual about being 84 and still flying.
Hope you’re as successful.
Oh my giddy aunt! I'd heard about this display and now I've finally seen it. What a show!

With the HOWL😊
I had never seen that video before. Thank you for uploading it and proving the ability of the Vulcan.
That was fabulous. Wow. Tony Blackburn is still on Radio 2, amazing 😉
Not him you wally. His first radio show was on Radio 1 in, I967.

Saw this twice in Toronto back in the day. The most beautiful aircraft ever built.
I think so, too. I lived in the village next to RAF Marham (UK) in the 70s and they often flew quite low over our house. I loved them.
Good lord, that’s astonishing. I was lucky enough to see the Vulcan of the Vulcan display flight at Woodford for the last few years. Would have loved to see this display, that was astonishing.
Yeah, I watched the Vulcan at Woodford also and even got to sit in the cockpit once. Such a shame some people will never experience what we did.

This was with some H&S, I'm sure you don't want another Farnborough of 52. We lost a legend and some of the audience.
@roadie4360 No thanks, still remembering Shoreham
Not a clickbait title!

Blimey ! hasn't anyone told that Vulcan it's a bomber and not a fighter 😱, seriously effortless manoeuvres and that howl makes my hair stand on end, love it. ♥.
Such a beautiful machine I love watching videos of them and never get bored of the famous howl
My dad was ground crew on the Vulcans in the 60s for the RAF
Superb, never seen that before. Always loved seeing the Vulcan at airshows. Its a shame we will never see displays like this again.

Saw similar at Biggin Hill, awesome display that left a lot of kids in tears!!!
I was there, the sound was far better live. Unforgettable display.
I bet it was. The wavy lines appearing across the screen at the start are caused by the sound actually vibrating the film in the camera!
Awesome in all ways. Awesome aircraft. Saw at biggin hill in the 80s and near end of flying life at Goodwood Revival.

I didn't believe my eyes when it rolled, really impressive for a huge aircraft like that
Why do you think it has a stick not a yoke?
Idk
Well, with a stick, rather than a wheel, of course it thinks its a fighter.
The stick was insisted on by Roly Falk because as Chief Test Pilot he said if he had to 'bang out' he didn't want to leave his legs behind. @mothmagic1
Astonishing!!
Oustanding find!
Outstanding!
Thanks for the upload. 👍🏻🙂
Absolutely fantastic 👏 ❤
Nice to know that 1 is still operational, although it hasn't flew in years.
saw one howl by at Bentwaters airshow ,memorable. At that show i remember a plane had an oil leak and a wallah brought over a 45 gallon drum on a Sherpa truck to fill it up
Brilliant, thank you.
Just incredible.
Went to an airshow the rebuilt vulcan flew low level over the car park the ground shook and every car alarm went off the noise was incredible
A time when slide rules were king, not a computer in sight. British engineering at its best.
Sorry to burst your bubble but the Vulcan was one of the first aircraft designed with computers - specifically a Ferranti Mark 1 which weighed 4.5 tons!
Watching this behemoth turn on a six pence is just mind blowing
Fantastic. We won't see the like again 😢
Did my last 2 and a half years on Vulcans. I guess there aren't that many of us left now as it was almost a lifetime ago though seems like yesterday.
Go on me son! Why was I not born sooner 🤦♂
2.52 The Vulcan Howl kicks in ..
WOW, What a machine!!
It was,I was born in 1941 and went to Farnborough around this time .
Trying to work out what the exhaust trail is outboard of the engines on the starboard wing of the B2. Looks too dark just to be vapour.
These ladies were always amazing crowd pleasers at any airshow. I saw its swan song with two Lancasters at Great Gransden. Wow! Just wow!❤
I wonder if, as it was the prototype, it was a rover APU?
@ could be. They had huge power demands for the flight control system as I recall.
Wondering the same @ 0:45🤔
"really something very remarkable indeed" - it's like hearing a foreign language after all the "insane... you won't believe" commentary elsewhere.
Bomber that flys like a fighter and howls like a wolf
Vulcan the God of aircraft
It most certainly was,
One year they had a Vulcan land that had left Canada that am
Before the Cadets could surround it with barriers the public were wandering around under it. And it was dripping fuel. Mild panic and much shouting by the ground guys..
Might have made a decent interceptor. Quick to high altitude, plenty of flying and loitering time, room for *lots* of weapons including nuclear air-to-air, maneuverable, plenty of room for powerful radars; perhaps a bit slow. Would have been a good blocker for Russian Bears back in the day.
When Britain was great.
Hi ColdWarJets, do you know if there is any footage in existence of XA903 with a Concorde engine slung underneath it at Farnborough 1968? My dad was there and often talks about how amazing it was! Thanks for all these great videos!
Thanks, but sadly I don't have any footage of XA903 - they likely exist in some archive somewhere!
I saw it and took a couple of still photos, but don’t have them any more.
*Wow they really knew how to put on an airshow in those days, pre-nannying*
Wow, wow. Fly it like a fighter !
Incredible. Does anyone know if a B1 Lancer, B2 Spirit or Tu-160 could pull off these type of manoeuvres?
A B1 can certaintly do these, but its a smaller aircraft with approx half the wing area.
Insane plane and then there was the English electric Lighting.
Video of the Lightning prototype on my channel at the same airshow.
The only reason it had wings was to keep the Nav lights apart. 😆
Still waiting for the loop
The Howl!
If you got enough thrust size don't matter
The worlds largest fighter. When Britain led the world in aviation.
Best aircraft
We used to be a country.
Can the modern B52 carry out these manoeuvres ?
The B52, though upgraded many times, is far from modern.
Compare the Vulcan with a modern stealth bomber instead.
Just Wow!
