It's great isn't it? Living in Lincoln, we got used to the loud noises, but like all things when they're not about, you miss them more. Look out for another year of Air Shows in the UK this summer. 558 will hopefully do most of them. Funding has beenestablished for another year.
I have seen super close up long loud flying displays by the B1B Lancer and the Concorde once at CNE Air Show when they used to allow Aircraft to be closer to the crowds. And I have seen the Vulcan flying demos in Canada at Air Shows from 1968 to 1983 but the best one I ever saw was in July 1977. The display lasted like 15-20 minutes and the take off sound shattering
i would have loved to have seen it display properly but i wasen't born then and then it went out of service but shes back now so i'm happy and glad i got to see her on her first display in 16 years
@edx881122 We have the Typhoon which I suspect is UK design though built through the EU. The real thing is British pilots flying UK planes do real good don't they? UK pilots do great because we believe in training and not shooting our allies? Love RAF and all their families, respect and love to you all you RAF guys!
The tight turn she does just after 7 minutes, complete with textbook howl is awesome! Thanks for sharing a sight that we may be able to see again soon!
beeeootiful .. I was stationed at Scampton 1971/2 with 4 Vulcan sqdns + 230 OCU and I just love these beasts - Great to see XH558 back where she belongs-brought a tear to my eye !! many happy memories...
Awesome video!! I was stationed at Scampton in '91 in Ground Radio. I was sitting by the receiver building watching the displays. Those were the days...lol
beutiful plane and a wonderful howl

From behind it looks like one of those old German flying wings.

It's a shame she's not allowed to display like that anymore, but at least she's flying again.

the brit aircraft designers went thru a phase where they seemed to be able to do that magical alchemy where form and function combined.
now? gone. so sad it makes me regret.
an age lost. Imagine a healthy brit design bureau these days, with 60 odd years of solid experience.
opportunity lost.
