@wba95x 16,400lb static trust each i understand ........ I've heard somewhere that each engine can shift 8tons of air a second?

[22fret]

That's what I'd call STOL...

10 second roll on a nuclear bomber, what even fighter aircraft do that today :) vulcan to the sky!

used to see these beautiful "aluminum overcast" when they flew out of Goose Bay in the 70's, nice to see one still flying, kudo's to the restoration team

[kingbleah]

reminds me of my ex wife she roared like that and fire came out her gob!.

even looked the same

[gazmon]

[rockyPants4000]

Excellent!

[mpainter22]

you dont just hear this thing you FEEL it at takeoff

[gchampi2]

WOO- and indeed -HOO!!!!

My Dad used to work on these & told me a tale about one of the fleet which he'd worked on, which had a strange 'klonking' noise reported by the flightcrew. Upon investigation, it turned out that someone had left a CHAIR in the port wing tank after repairing s fuel sensor...

[sheldonholy]

HAHA!! Well, it's big enough!

[JAYwayne75]

did anyone know how it howls?

well its unique to the olympus 200 series engines and is most noticable at 80% ish thrust its called "intake harmonics" so the welsbourne vulcan having 300 series engines cant generate that "howl" although the southend one could

[Kringlebeast]

ah, thanks for explaining.

Always used to hear it from my house when it would do its runs up the runway. Goosebumps everytime.

Brings back memories from the 60s. Those Olympus engines pack a punch. Fantastic!

[stretchmark8]

[SAMMYTHOMAS]

[hellspenguin50]

[b00giehead]

[supervulcan222]

When i saw on the news some footage like this i thought it was all a dream! After 13 years being restored and takes off tike any normal other aircraft. Its just incredible! Listening to those engines rev up to full power for take off once again! Just incredible!
