What really gets me is people blaming Harold Wilson for the cancellation of the TSR-2. He was only directing funds and manpower towards the development of the Concorde with France, what turned out to be, in hindsight, a good judgement, I think.
Most impressive plane ive ever seen , there is nothing else like the Vulcan . The first time i saw it was when i was at Wittering , i was walking to my car when the whole world began to vibrate . I looked up and saw the Vulcan going vertical and then finnish off a whole loop da loop . Being this was my first experience of a Vulcan i froze to the spot , and not knowing what it could do thought it was going to crash . It didnt im glad to say but it left me in awe , amazing plane
Pre-Concord Rolls Royce Olympus engines in action here. Valiants started falling out of the sky with super-premature airframe failure, but the Vulcan was sound and tested.
