  • the kiddies obviously love it

  • @pedalman the vulcan wasn't put out of service because nukes can go into rocket and become nuclear warheads; 1. It wasnt used to drop nukes it was used in the falklands war taking out main airbases in Argentinian hands! 2. It dropped about 133 bombs a minute all at around 28 pounds of explosion! So shut up.

  • vulcans are the coolest bomber ever!!!

  • At 3' 22" you can see amazing images.

  • I saw this beast of a plane at the Southport airshow today............MY GOD ITS A MONSTER,AND LOUD.............The kids loved it : )

  • britain needs to build bombers again

  • why was it put out of service?

  • @meetsouder It was Britain's Nuclear Bomber - when the Nuclear deterrent was handed over to the Navy the MoD felt that the Vulcan was no longer needed ( that is until the Falkland's Conflict). The Vulcan is a truly magnificent and formidable weapon.

  • @meetsouder It was put out of service because nuclear bombs could be put on top of rockets .

  • great video...she was a fantastic flying machine ....i had the pleasure of guarding them at RAF waddington in 1980. spent many hours hiding from the rain under those very large wings ...

  • I spent a few years in VOG cell Vulcan/Victor/Valiant support on QRA

    the best years of my RAF career I can still remember the Tail Fin nbrs of the Vulcans what a superb superb aircraft........man I loved V'S

  • My favorite moments in the 4th Bond film THUNDERBALL were those with the Vulcan bomber.

  • What a beauty ;) i'm a big fan of military aviation :D

  • what are those big wings called

  • @briancoolik Big !

  • @briancoolik Delta. :-)

  • Black Buck, Say no more !!!

  • stunning lets not argue just enjoy

  • To know about the awesome aircraft i suggest people read the book Vulcan 607 it gives information on the aircraft throughout the book but also tells the story of the Swan-song of the graceful aircraft the Swan-song being the longest recorded bombing run in history one neither our allies or then enemies thought could be done.It still currently gold therecord and i cant see it being beaten anytime soon.

  • I have seen the Vulcan in the 80s at Duempel-Airport in germany, it was a vulcan based on malta, made a terrifying performance in germany. VW-Busses were trembling when the trhrottle was at full, it was very quiet when slow. Could not land there but tried to tell the people that it would, with landing gear out. Amazing...

  • Do you know I don't know anything about planes but this one just caught my eye after reading the book Vulcan 607. There is just something graceful about it even till the present day.

  • I saw a vulcan at an airshow in blackpool, it is the freakin' loudest thing I have ever heard and it is massive!!!

  • "The most advanced aircraft ever" is plain nonsense, unless aviation collapsed and died right after. And I love the SR-71 but it's closer to a rocket than a plane.

  • The last of the iconic V Bombers. I always get goose bumps when I see this wonder of engineeing fly, she could cause untold devestation but actually she kept the world peaceful; her deterence and sheer air superiority was enough alone. Grace and power personified; menacing beauty and presence. As I said she is, and will remain, the last of the great V Bombers. From the days when Britain was a super power in its own right.

  • SONY MUSIC zijn gore klootzakken

  • If anyone does not think the Vulcan is loud they are literally completely deaf and dead.

  • The RAF Nimrod,F-111 Aardvark,F-4 Phantom,F-14 Tomcat,SR 71 Blackbird,F-15 Eagle,F-16 Falcon,F-18 Super Hornet,F-101 Voodoo,Etc were the next loudest group.

  • Of all the aircraft I have seen in over 40 years at Air shows in the United States and Canada, the Concorde at Toronto CNE in 1983 and Abbottsford BC in 1986, the Vulcan between 1970 and 1983 in Ontario Canada,and the B1 Lancer Bomber were the loudest.

  • The UK was possibly the most advanced of the post war aircraft makers, as george385 rightly says the then govt shared the technology the the USA. This was very much a one way street, the US kept all its technology very much to itself.

    Maybe understandably, what with all the 1950s spy scandals.

    Perhaps if, instead of spending a massive amount on the (commercially) doomed concord, the UK concentrated on more conventional aircraft, this country would be leading the world in aircraft production.

  • now if only they had an airsoft version...

  • i am british but ill hold my hands up. this air craft desingh and the desingh what the b2 is based on was actually a nazi german desingh. type in youtube. nazi secret weapons they built the verry first stealth bomber. and also built the very first cruise missle. the nazis was evil fucks but they was very clever at making aircrafts. and after ww2 britian and america stole all there ideas. probably loads that they never had time to even start devoloping.

  • @paul43073 makes you wander what really was happening in the cold war and what they really was building in the arms race. all these ufo sighting will be. the most advanced aircraft today. probably just kept top secret and too fast to get a good look at. the aircraft me and you see at these airshows are toys compaired to what comes out at night time.

  • I remember seeing the Vulcan plenty of times when I was a young lad in Derbyshire they used a to a have a flight path close to where I lived. Awesome beast!

  • dude, if your allowed to own real firearms in Scoutland, then fuck it im moving :P

  • thats one big ass plane

  • Is this Vulcan XH558?

  • awesome

  • the scottish version of us b2, and avro was the one to make the ufo car thingy

  • probably the most beautiful bomber that ever flew.

  • A sad tombstone to the once glorious British air industry...

  • Vulcan = Beautiful Plane

  • Colorado has a really cool airshow too.

  • Shame it's not flown like how it used to be, like a massive fighter. I understand why though.

  • Beautiful, thanks for posting. I'll never forget seeing 7 (I think) of these beautiful beasts doing a demonstration "squadron scramble" complete with stream takeoffs, reputed to have ripped the tarmac and broken all the bottles in the Officers' Mess. Certainly rearranged my internal organs . . .

  • tradbgone has posted the same rant on 3 different Vulcan videos, what a chump, what kind life do you have if you spend all day watching videos of things you dont like and making negative comments about them. What a weapon, you sir are most definately an oxygen theif!

  • Good luck raising it. In the sales pitch to Lottery, it was promised airshow fees would keep it going if only Lottery would provide SIX MILLION POUNDS. Lottery gave it up, and now Lottery is left thinking it has been fooled by an empty promise. Now, there's no way "the people" are gonna donate TWO MILLION POUNDS ANNUALLY TO OPERATE IT. NO WAY. Every year? The airshow fees-to-operate trick was always a dodgy dream.

  • Is it your TWO MILLION POUNDS ANNUALLY, (stop shouting!) i would rather my lottery money was spent on this than some bunch of lesbian scrubbers who want to explore chilean fertility rites and the male phallo-centric conspiracy. Vulcantostayinthesky.

  • i was at that air show my dad says he got the fright of his life wean it went over the top of my house LOL

  • it isn't the only working Vulcan they have 1 taxing up and down runways but in flying matter yes it is

  • come on scotland!

  • i believe the vulcan is stunning

    i personally like the b52

    but since the vulcan has been doing displays its lifted crouds by hundreds of thousands

    xh558 is a LEGEND simple as that

    and a nuclear bomber that can role Well that says it all

  • Looks like a giant moth.

  • isnt that like a stealth jet the germans used in WWII or something idk only saw it in a video game and i was germans and i flew it......

  • do u perhaps mean the horten 229?

  • i guess

  • look it up buddy,its very like the current us stealth bomber,makes u wonder where the yanks got the idea?

  • anyone for a bb nuke?

  • can some body help a noob (me) out? what is the difference between the vulcan and an airplane?

  • its a big bomber i think. designed in 1947 or sumat

  • I saw it at Bournemouth air show, it is sooooooo loud!

  • i think this plane is good in eny way. but there is a problem if u where fould u sould be as good as dead i mean AA connon vs that huge wing it would be like "fall guys" epic fail!

  • how easy it would be to shoot that crap down hahaha

  • these fly too high 4 an aa cannon,maybe sam or a pursueing fighter jet allthough a dassault mirage was outturned by 1 of these

  • To scwarzewaffe85, yes I can confirm, I performed training missions in April 1982 against RAF Vulcans. A MIRAGE III had plenty of difficulties to gunfire a Vulcan. Only a missile shot was possible, using AIM 9B Sidewinders in these days. Lots of fun for both sides on debrief... But it was training... For another war: SOUTHBOUND... Think we helped in a way... Still a beautiful "gothic delta". An Angel of the past...

  • thats incredible that something so big has that kind of turning ability,im guessing that that delta shape gives greater lift than swept wing?.ps thank u for ur reply its nice to talk to some1 whom has been involved with the subject matter

  • Comment removed

  • sort of. delta wings actually have a smaller lift curve slope than swept wings. The (well, one) advantage of deltas is the vortex flow that keeps the aircraft in the air even when it has technically stalled. One of the nice things about the vortex flow is that the pattern is relatively resilient to changes in operating point.

  • wow kool

  • simply beautifull

  • at 0:46 or 0:47 a little girl says:mommy, i dont like it!

    btw RAF cadets rule!

  • haha his son, dylan, had a airsoft pistol in his hand

  • beautiful...

  • Its loud, has a special wing shape, which is very distinctive. It was the only one of britains V Bombers to drop bombs in anger (falklands war) and its a very graceful and pretty plane

  • What's special?

    Well let's see:

    - It was restored to flight via volunteers (an incredible effort)

    - It was one of the first stealthy bombers (inadvertently)

    - It's engines pioneered the multi-spool layout now standard in aero engine design

    - It had amazing maneuverability for it's size, esp. at high altitude

    - It's one of the last turbojet-powered aircraft you can find still flying

    - One of the few heavy bombers with a stick instead of a yoke

  • everything.... at the time it was a pioneering plane.

    To put this into perspective, the plane that avro made before this was the lancaster. The leap in technology was immense.

    its also one of the most beautiful and powerful planes i have ever seen. If you ever get the chance to go and see this plane in action, do it. only then will you realise how unarguably fantastic this plane is.

  • we nearly went to nuclear war with russia becouse of one of these planes.

  • Saw this marvelous craft a few days ago on the Sanicole Airshow in Belgium, truly honored to be able to see this last one of it's kind in my lifetime.

    Deposited 100 euros to the restoration fund right away ^_^

  • I worked on this aircraft at RAF Scampton, she is a beautiful bird. I love the way she howls when the engines are opened up. Long may she reign!

  • Looks like RODAN!!!

  • First time I experienced a vulcan over my head, was wing field day. It was about 300-600 feet above me and my whole body started to vibrate when it was right over head. And when it was at RIAT as it went over the car park it set off like 4 alarms.

  • just to clear a few things up, the Vulcan is not slow neither is it quiet, during it's operational career it was flown at close to mach 1, at altitudes ranging from 45ft to 65,000. Its engines produce twice the power of the eurofighter typhoon, it is capable on full throttle of smashing windows and setting off car alarms at a distance of damn near a mile, it also the only british bomber to be feared by both our allies and our enemies, she is an awesome piece of kit

  • @mpainter22 The Vulcan isn´t a British invention the Blueprints where getting from the Germans past WW2 during Operation Paperclip. the Vulcan is being emerged from the" Lippisch Delta VI"

  • @ozeangruen ....you could say the same about the B2........your're just another anti-British yank. You'd never have gone to the moon without a Nazi to build your rocket

  • @Aussiephil99 no Iam not The Mosquito was the outstanding english nightfighter!

  • @Aussiephil99 In the 50's Britain led the world with rocket technology - it was handed over to the Americans by a pathetic UK government; as was the M52 project giving the Americans the secrets for controlled supersonic flight (which they couldn't work out for themselves).

  • @george385 what bunch of bullshit it was US that built the most advanced aircraft ever SR71, XB70,

  • @jers59 The SR71 is an amazing plane, there is no doubt about that, but she undertook surveillance only. She was not a bomber, the Vulcan however was an out and out show of force a show of power, might and air superiority. On paper and in reality the Vulcan was capable of delivering cataclysmic destruction, she is, and always has been an aircraft feared world wide, nothing since has ever replaced this peace keeping-by-deterence air craft and I dont think anything ever will.

  • @ozeangruen Thats a load of rubbish.

  • @george385 wha?t that you copied nearly every German patent after war ?

  • @ozeangruen Give us a break - copy a "Patient"?

  • @george385 The Vulcan is based captured German Blueprints of the Lippisch Delta

  • @ozeangruen ...and th eonly similarity between them is that they are both Delta Wing design - thats not "copyright" nor "copied".

  • @george385 hmmmmm?

  • I'm part of the Vulcan Membership club, and when I joined I got an Umbrella with the Vulcan on it.

  • seen it yesterday at leuchars its a beast"!

  • That thing is HUGE!

  • saw her today at leuchars awesome......

  • The only plane that has its own weather system along with it.

    Anyone whos been under her belly when she lands knows what i mean.

    She's got enough power to start a small planet.

  • I almost saw this fly at the licoln airshow but they wouldnt let it fly

  • i was there it was awsome the bombn bays opened

  • duuuuude what i would do to fly that thing :O

  • I also saw that at bournemouth it flew over my home and caused my hamster to have a spaz attack due to the noise.

  • i seen it today at bournemouth airshow, "AWESOME"

  • i was there 2 i liked the part when nearly everything was on runway n taking off

  • a little variety from airsoft... s'all good

  • It's so slow!!!

  • cause its a show usaully with stuff rare seenly they go

  • rofl it's not slow, did you see the size of it? it just looks like its going slow

  • its not aloud to go its top speed over land, as its over a residentual area. so it would be going slow.

  • I live a ways from an air force base and i see apache helicopters and black hawks, chinookes, F16, F15, and more. one time i swear i saw an IF22 raptor.

  • it sounds louder in this video than it did at cosford, personaly i thoguht the eruofighter typhoon is much louder than the vulcan, but at the time this was created i presume it was the loudest thing ever

  • unfortunatley to save the vulcans airframe its not pushed as hard as it was when it was in raf service. search vulcan bomber at yeovilton by jodywinter1 for a classic clip of an aborted landing.

  • im sure the taliban would know they were screwed when they see one of them flying over 'em lol!

  • this did have afterburners but they dont work. and its still very loud

  • why do i have a vision of another Rammstein airshow?

  • ....its spelt 'Ramstein' hehe.

  • wow that thing is BEAST

  • i live like 20 miles from whiteman airforce base and its a monthly event to have F15's F"16's and B2's fly right over my house.... and one time while i was out of town my dad called me and said a B52 flew over!!!! and i missed it.....

  • that is awesome i live near nellis air force base and i rarely even get to see F16's and

    F18's

  • I saw it yesterday the 9th in Northamptonshire twice, there is nothing else like it in the sky except birds.

  • im sure he's got an Airsoft flak gun to shoot it down. lol great work

  • scout... happen to know me from the airsoftallies fourm... White wolf....

    happen to love aviation or just saw it and thought"COOL"

  • Cool

  • wtf y is everyone arguin bout their home country theres no point of it most of us love our home countries and will argue forever over it... btw nice vid tht plane is huge

  • HA i'd love to see that

  • so thats where the vulcan went me and my dad saw it go past a few months back.

  • amazing!!

  • Probaly you don`t but the rest of your country does without ireland england and wales your country would of been wales

  • Actually no, we managed fine for YEARS before the union.

    And we provide all the oil.

  • Okay, that settles it. I'm moving to Scotland! They have awesome airsoft tournaments, they have the fricken VULCAN for god's sake, they have awesome accents, what more can there be to make it better????? I wanna move from the superpower of WAR to peaceful, awesome SCOTLAND BABY!!!!

  • dont mind the rain:P

  • I likey rain =P

  • Trouble is fella is Vulcan XH558 is based in England. :o)

  • @Udilator The Working Vulcan is based in RAF Yeolviton in England but does airshows all over the world . Read the title *Airshow*

  • Must have been really Loud

  • This is obviously based off of alien technology. Margaret Thatcher was an alien succubus and the first do deploy Vulcans in combat. It was developed by Spock on the planet Vulcan. Avro ripped it off.

  • @Treetopflyer172 LMAO!!!!!!!!!!

  • Great to see the old Vulcan in the air again - it was the highlight of the day, especially when it rumbled upwards - leaving a whiff of aviation fuel behind.

    A hell of a job getting this thing airborne again.

  • so it takes a million pounds to wat?

  • To run it every year. To fix it up, fuel it, and keep it all flying.

  • omg

  • I hope it doesn't flight to China and Korea ... lol.

  • this vid is kinda random..lol...because im used to seein airsoft videos. But this video is awesome.

  • i saw it in the hanger before it took flight

  • the only good airsoft fields are found in the west, and they kick ass

  • wtf do you get a rare jet and a huge airsoft area... -.-

  • i know right usa has no airsoft places so your forced to have a backyard war and the rarerest plane ull sell in amerca is like a b52 or an f 15 or f16 and if ur really lucky ull see a b2

  • I went to the AIR TATTOO Air show at Fairford two weeks ago, and this vulcan did exactly the same show. Why do people think scotland only got to see this....noobs! lol keep the vids goin!!!!

  • i saw its first flight for ages at biggin hill and it was the same

  • yeh lol, every year it does a show with lots and lots of other cool and rare planes at Dorset where euro fighters and red arrows and stuff comes

  • its flight makes it look so elegant

  • it looks so slow in this video all the plane whanted to do is fall out of the sky to me its still a nice plane but wow

  • TRust me it's going pretty fast.

  • You have everything in Scotland! Like Teknotk said, you have giant airsoft games and that's good enough for me! I recently bought an M4 Carbine but it's falling apart already so I'm saving for an L85A2.

  • unlucky bout ur m4 :(

  • damn, you guys got everything in Scotland. rare planes and huge airsoft games..... im gonna come and visit some day. :)

  • it would of been so cool if they dropped like airshow t-shirts from where the bombs come out.

  • i went to the air day down south, the vulcan broke down 10 mins be4 it was supposed to fly :@ tht sucks :/

  • OMG i was there!! i thought the chinoks were better. from north berwick. could of got some airsoft info

  • Lewis, its was a great day overall even the weather was perfect

  • i think the F22 is still better

  • They serve a different purpose.

  • yes

  • F22 isn't a bomber its a fighter aircraft ergo the F in the name.

  • Man that is bad ass!

  • Saw this on the 25th of July down Sunderland Airshow, must of flown down from Sunderland all the way up to scotland

  • and before that it was at lowestoft in norfolk :P

  • i wna start doin this but i dunno wot site to get the stuff and were to play

  • very interresting!

  • that is so silent it is amazing

  • sexy plane! it was in the James Bond movie "Thunderball"

  • i was hoping this had something to do with airsoft :( lol

  • it has something to do with Scotland.

  • 1. mill a year wow no pressure flyin it!! lol

  • IM 14 and i want to fly it. No one will get angry when i crash it right?
