- Guy restores a Vulcan, reveals its story... and gets to try and wheelie one along a runway. Watch Guy prep for takeoff here and watch the full documentary on All4 - www.channel4.co...
The pilot is literally a stereo type of a British pilot, instantly likeable and genuinely friendly
TheLifeOfDan have you met British balloon pilots they sre a bunch of snow flakes 😂😂
And 100% professional. Well said friend.
Chaps name is mike pollitt, and also between the seats is Dave Thomas, both instrumental in getting 558 airborne. Dave Thomas delivered her to Bruntingthorpe and was copilot on the first post restoration test flight.
And you know when you hear him on the speaker you are in safe hands
Man wish I was british y’all have some of the best stuff.
No brother you guys do 😂😂🇬🇧🇺🇸 I wish we could use your b2 spirits bombers. We should have never abandoned the strategic bomber programmes. Love from a brother in England 🇬🇧💪🏼🇺🇸 stronger together
I don't know about that,the B-52 is pretty cool too,and the F/A-18 E/F "super bug".
That pilots voice is the sort of voice you want to hear when you go on holiday and the pilot says hello before take off. Instantly makes you feel in safe hands.
"would it be worth it?" "well it would be with you on board" GEEZA
This is wellesbourne air field, I used to past this beautiful Vulcan regularly and if you were lucky, you'd see them banging it down the runway! What a sight to see! This air craft was way ahead of it's time!!
I served at RAF Scampton in the early 80s and was always in awe of the mighty Vulcan. Experiencing a 6 Vulcan scramble is something else and the aircrew were always relaxed and super cool.
I saw my first Vulcan bomber at Waddington where my Cousin was an RAF Dog handler ..even remember her name but those bombers made the ground shake and its stayed with me all these years after..Beautiful sight ..
She wants to fly ! .. that pilot is my hero.
We all would like her to fly...to ISIS.. and drop bombs.....
@@richardoakley8800 it does have the fuel to cross the atlantic
@@richardoakley8800 ISIS...you mean CIA?
@@cheytacpraetoriancomposite3413 nope, Isis..... or Boko haram....or Isis.... either one will do
@@bumblebrutus7685 ISIS = CIA bro...
That wink 😉... is so British 💪🏾💪🏾💪🏾.
That Captain has reached BOSSS rank. If a engine fire 🔥 were to happen he would have sensed it minutes before guy. His eyes are too quick... he's watching everything!! as he's less a real co-pilot
This Guy Martin bloke is brilliant. Pity I can never understand a word he says. Or perhaps that's part of the brilliance.
I think hes on speed
He's a 'motorcyclist' 'has been' and token celebrity numpty !!
Anything with Guy in is good value! I used to fly out of Wellesbourne airfield in Warwickshire. There was (and still is I think) a taxiable Vulcan there, dwarfing everything!
Mark Johnson I thought this was the EGBW Vulcan to be honest !
There is Vulcan XM655 at Wellesbourne. Still there. Would have been taxiing this year 2020 but for Covid19.
guy could build a lightbulb, and we would still watch him!
The one at Wellesbourne is the one that Guy was taxying. He did NOT taxi XM558!
A pair of Lincolnshire legends.
I have always loved the Vulcan!!!
Chatting with Mark Stise the most beautiful aircraft ever, followed by Concorde and 747.
Good to see you on a throttle again, Guy. Any throttle.
Live long and prosper
I saw a vulcan flying a few years ago, there was an air show in or near Bristol UK and the thing is huge. Must have been its last flight or something but too see one in the air is amazing. I get to see a lot of flyovers because I live right next to the airbus airfield and rolls Royce. Last week I saw the airbus A380 I think it's called the one that looks like a whale 🐳.
Matt768 I saw it at Riat that’s in Bristol props where you saw it
Matt768 and I saw the beluga as well
I saw it at Farnborough airshow, I've lived near the airfield all my life, this was the most beautiful aircraft I've seen flying there.
The A380 is a passenger airplane. The A300-600 is the Beluga. A freighter.
I live 3miles from finningley RAF base,,now Robin Hood airport,,I recall when younger,3 Vulcans doing the 3 min scramble on an evening,,frightening to hear,,all the windows vibrated in the house,,3 miles away,,,
I love the music in this scene from Road Redemption... and I love Guy Martin's shows, of course! :)
EDGE_ELITE I was just about to ask “anyone know what the music is on this episode? I can’t find anything about it!!!” 😂 nice one 👍🏻😁
It's a shame it can't fly but great they are keeping it alive. I seen 2 Vulcan's sitting in fields. I missed a chance to see this one fly, it had a faulty fuel pump last minute and canceled it's show.
I swear British pilot mics make British pilots sound more british
@EFEZZE6280 theres not really an "English accent" either.
Where is part 3?
hi.still must beautifull aircraft from uk.like at albatros.
Such a beautiful plane still ...let her fly one day
Theirs one exact one 5 min away at a airplane museum I usually take brakes under it it’s shady nice and cool their pretty big
The Bomber Of The Skies, A True Sad Day For The Avro.
45 minutes of checks u less you press the little red button after climbing the ladders then there's no aircraft on the planet that starts quicker
for the scramble start, back when in operation it would have required the aircraft already being fully electrically powered up with, the flight engineer would already be on board, when the scramble call is given, the rest of the crew would rush to the aircraft, go through the scramble start up procedure, which involves starting all 4 engines in rapid succession, within 4 minutes they're off the ground.
woodford
I want to ride on this unique plane
1:08 - Close your eyes and imagine that's it's David Mitchell telling Guy Martin how to fly a Vulcan.
Out turn fighter aircraft at high altitude. ..Vulcan 👍👍
Do any one want back the avro arrow i do
Of course but the avro arrow was avro Canada and the Canadian government finished the project because of political reasons and it has never explained why and still won't
Which dialect is the pilot speaking? Very clear and easy to understand for a non native english speaker.
It's not really a dialect, he's just speaking the language properly :)
Posh .
This thing looks soo slow even though it’s not going slow 😂
What is flying condition? If need be she will take to the heavens ⛈⛈... British Aeronautics at its best 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
Of course, it's the same plane!
Single pilot can right?
WTF ! has Guy 'Martian' got to be in there, motorcycle type person because they couldn't trust him with a take off. . . and the connection with the Vulcan is.........naff all?
Actually, that particular Vulcan which is XM655 can't fly.
would like to see the rest of your stories...the app to do so is not available to me....you would think with using our formats to show the world you could at least let us see what you up to...would like to stay as subscriber...but if I can't enjoy all... I won't support any...
Luckiest guy in the world
Very lucky
It was such a pity that these beasts are no longer flying. From the rumours I have heard, the Doncaster based Vulcan could still fly, it was down to the chief executives and they’re gigantic pay packets that ended its flying days.
Not sure that's the case - strictly down to CAA regulations for "complex military aircraft" and the fact that the airframe was out of FI (Fatigue Index) - which basically means that critical structural components like wing spars and flying surface attachment points had reached the end of their safe fatigue life and "could" theoretically fail. 90 odd tons of aircraft hitting the ground, buildings or even worse, spectators, at several hundred knots, wouldn't go down too well.
And at the time of my comment 62 people disliked this so why watch in the first place
To form an opinion as to wether someone likes the clip or not they need to watch it ya dumb fuck
Guy did NOT restore a Vulcan and he did NOT prep for take off typical shoddy story telling
such a nice bomber with such an ugly painting
o c Ugly?
Ugly painting, You moron!
+Doug Borrett Moron?
o c From what I have read they were initially painted in anti flash white as they were designated as high altitude strategic nuclear bombers, after the U2/Gary Powers incident their role change towards one of being more a low level attack bobmber so they started to be painted in the traditional camouflage on top and grey on the bottom scheme. Some were painted all over in a camouflage scheme for example during the Falkland War and when acting as enemy aircraft in war exercises.
I wonder why it isnt air worthy.
Costs too much to keep old planes in the air when its difficult to find spares which are no longer being manufactured. Ditto with old televisions, its almost impossible to find the old vacuum tubes. Wouldn't you rather spend your resources on a brand new high definition wide screen monitor instead of a twelve inch black and white picture tube?
Because chuffin Guy 'Martian' is in it!!!
@@ronclark9724 No, I'd much rather spend the money on getting an old set up and running again. I don't like flat screens. I prefer a bit of a softer picture than something crystal clear, easier on the eye for me, plus theres the enjoyment of restoring and repairing them
old age, and money.. Remember it is probably 75 years old by now. The guys who trained to keep them in the air are similarly aging :-(
This is a good plane why is it dead
Jack Preslin Money. It was introduced in 1956 believe. It's an old, old plane and costs a lot of money to maintain and fly. It's easily one of my favourites and it was brilliant to see the XH558 a few years ago.
Old and complex technology. Airworthy certification no longer possible as the current generation do not know enough about this cold war tech. No air cert... no fly.
