Love those Concorde and Vulcan Howling Rolls Royce Engines on take off and Fly By. I really miss those Aircraft not flying over this side of the Ocean anymore at Air Shows along with the C-130 Hercules not doing crowd close up JATO Demos anymore. All of these were the highlights of Air Shows.
One of the few 15 Aircraft that existed I experienced from around the U.S. and World that actually shook your whole guts doing flying demo. 45 years of attending many Air Shows that had you name it Canadian,U.S.,British,and European Aircraft.

i remember an air show back in 1972 here in canada. the 3 highlights were the 5 squadron Canadian F-101 Voodoos demo,Canadian C-130 Hercules doing JATO demo close up,and the RAF Vulcan also doing take off and flying close up demo. The Canadian C-130 Hercules JATO close up and Vulcan flying demo close up were by far the loudest aircraft of the Air Show.
God would i love to fly that aircraft. i had fantasies of flying the AVRO Vulcan,lol. Lucky pilot stiffs that got the honor and priviledge of flying that aircraft over the years and decades. Show offs,lol hahahaha.
To think there was one type of Vulcan in flight service up to 1965 that actually had 4 afterburning engines like the Concorde. The Rolls Royce Afterburning Engines are said to be the loudest in the world by any aircraft. That is not just by the British making that claim but also Americans,Russians,Germans,and European personal also claim the British have the loudest manifactured aircraft engines.
When I was a nipper I vividly remember a Vulcan flying over our Church one Sunday morning. As the sound grew into this truly colossal din everyone fled the church to get a look at the airliner that clearly must have been making a landing in the car park!
Then a couple of years later I saw one at an air show (one of the last flights) and it made what was quite simply the loudest noise I have ever heard. You could actually feel your insides vibrating. Fantastic!
Yes, it certainly overloaded the mic on my camcorder! I was a lot closer than most people, at that airshow; an unauthorised spot in an adjacent field. When it did a circuit (the last 10 secs of my vid) the sound was hammering around the sky from various directions... I presume this was echoes from hills and perhaps even clouds. Anyway, despite the surging on the audio, I was delighted with this clip.
@BWFSabian Lord have mercy. Like a wild horny woman having rough sex on you, One of the very few experiences in any man's life that cannot be equaled.
I wanna see one of these sitting on it's tail. I've heard they're so powerful they can just go into a stall angle, open up a little and hold it there, then open up all the way and power right out of it.
I saw this magnificent aircraft the last time it flew at finningley. When the bomb bay doors opened it said farewell across the doors, the crowd loved it!
A fantastic plane and an amazing video. Captures exactly what you want, the sound. I've never seen one in person, only on video. Question to those with more experience, is this louder than a B1. I have seen a B1, not even taking off, and I felt it in my body. It performed at the airshow near my house and has been among my favorites ever since. Which would you say is louder, or which planes would be louder than these two if any?
you need to see a vulcan take off.She is flying again this year.Similar noise to B1,but with added scary howl!There is no other aircraft that is such a crowd pleaser!
concorde probs would have although not likely as it was a commercial jet. it is to do with the delata wing which gives it a phenomonal amout of lift and obviously the engines. As for it displaying this year i believe it will not be air worthy in time for waddo but possibly alrigh in time for the yorkshire show in august.
I was on Guam in 1972 when two Vulcans landed. We had a RAF detacthment there for a while. The take off noise was louder than anything I'd ever heard. Incredible plane. I had a great time with the RAF guys there too. Wonderful times.
I was out walking the dog (a Golden Retriever) in northern Northumberhand and one flew over, very low, and she (the dog) flattened herself on the ground in fright. I've never seen a dog do that since. She really seemed like she wanted, literally, a low profile. That was 1982, btw.
i've looked at both of two aircraft which is the Avro arrow and the Vulcan the vulcan seems to have the bigger wingspan but what do i know i'm not an engineer
p.s
Can't wait untill the Vulcan comes in 2007ish it would piss all over today's aircraft.
I don't know about the rest of you folks but the Vulcan is strikingly simmular to the Avro Arrow, or the CF-105. Do I sense a younger sibbling of the Arrow?
I remember, way back in the early 60s, the second time I had attended the Farnborough Air Show, 5 Vulcans took off in formation. It was the loudest, most incredible sound I ever felt. Yes, you didn't hear the sound, you felt it through your entire body. Fantastic!
Vulcans absolutely rule! Should have been replaced by the TSR2 but thanks to the Labour government doing exactly what the americans wanted we never got it. (Labour doing what the americans want? Why does that ring a bell?! :))
Anyway, everyone should read Vulcan 607 from the Black Buck missions in 82'. A brilliant account of a truly amazing achievement despite huge budget cuts.
I was on Guam in 1972 when the RAF sent two Vulcans there for an Air Show and then some training with the USAF. Great bunch of guys to work with, and the plane was incredible. Nothing has ever sounded like the roar of a Vulcan bomber. Great to see the clip, thanks.
i was at cosford in 81 she come down low over the runway wheels down then tucked em up and just opened her up and pulled up it was awesome the air cracked and the ground shook my youngest daughter actually jumped from the wife onto my lap in shock,roll on 2007 when she,s back
Funny everyone is mentioning how loud the thing was...there was one stationed at Offutt AFB coupla decades ago, and everyone who I've heard discuss it has always talked first about how LOUD it was. Like "squadron of F-4 Phantoms" loud, apparently.
Yes, once heard, never forgotten. If you're fairly close, then the sound really does cross the boundary into actual physical onslaught, where your ribcage can pulsate. Sonic Attack, as my fav rock band once put it. (Hawkwind.)
Fantastic stuff! One of my strongest childhood memories is of 3 Vulcans flying really low over my school, then pulling up into a steep climb. As others have said, they made an awesome sound. So glad they've secured funding to get XH558 in the air again.
i dont care wot any1 sez,i think we shud bring'em bak any cost,lighter alloys like titanium wud mean lighter plane,build it biggr,smaller engines means room 4 added boosters,sod the US space shuttle,got our own ere dat cud take off as conventional plane&switch 2the boosters at ceiling height,if stifs in whitehall boverd ther arses,roll on a govt worth runnin the country wiv 1 of greatest possibilities,past,present&future flight dis world cud evr see,evn hav
Great souvenir of a bygone era. I have seen the Vulcan many times over the years but I never got fed up with it. One of the things I liked about its show routine was the sound. Aparently it is not just the jet exhaust which does this. There is some kind of resonance in the intakes which makes it bellow. Nothing like it. Never will be again. Total power, total beauty.
Yep. It's the intake resonance that creates that wonderful ghoulish howl. I grew up with these things and can't get enough - sight, sound and smell. Vulcans rule!
uses the same engines as concorde, i've seen one of these at an airshow back in the later 80s, early 90s and to hear it turn in the sky was very unique, you could feel the air frame it was that loud, shame they don't fly anymore :(
Yes, today's warfare uses the silent-as-possible approach, but flying Vulcans low over a country would certainly produce "shock and awe". Perhaps, in the technological swings and roundabouts game, an aircraft will one day be produced that is 'cloaked' from sight and missiles, but has the noisiest engines possible, just to scare the hell out of people.
The 6 dislikes are probably people who don't like any Jet in the first place. They like only the sound of Air Planes from WWI 1914 to 1918.
