well done. a brilliant tribute. If you like the v bombers i suggest you read vulcan 607 (if you haven't already!) it is about the vulcan and victor flying south to the falklands to battle the argentinians. it is a gripping read!
A great shame that the Vulcan overshadowed the Victor. Although eventually relegated to being 'only a tanker' it was, too, a phenomenal aircraft that played a huge role in the Falklands, the first gulf war and in many other theatres. One of the greatest aircraft the RAF ever had. Tankers can be very useful - alas they are less glamorous that bombers and I doubt we will ever see one flying again :-(
GREAT VIDEO!! The only thing I have to say is that, instead of american or italian, I would have prefer some british music ( say Elgar, or Vaughan Williams...). I like mostly the Victor and Vulcan...by the way, it'd be nice to see a similar video about Lancaster, Stirling and Halifax...thanks for posting it, and greetings from an argentinian aircraft fan!
Good video, so USA has B52, B1b and B2, Uk has erm... fuck all for a bomber. About time they started development and get some up! A nice cross between the Vulcan and Victor please or a contemporary version of each...
briggsNF - you're not wrong, however, it's thought that the next generation of fighter bomber aircraft types will be unmanned. They'll all be remote controlled from outside the theatre of war which is no bad thing as you lose no pilots and training is minimal. Aircraft will be cheaper too. The unmanned units will be able to get closer before delivering ordnance so the ordnance can be smaller and more can be delivered.
Briggsnf - I was in Scotland a couple of years ago and slept in a forest on one night. There was a lot of activity that some may think was the goings on of UFO's. But I delved into it a bit bit. The Americans are testing and developing their next generation planes/drones etc in the north of England/Scotland and they are very fast and not that loud. I had just the moonlight in the mountains area, but could see the shapes. Americans are testing here as it's more likely that they are not found out!
Not meaning to start another argument but it wasnt exactly smart insulting british planes on a video where most of the comments are coming from british people
i cannot forget that distinctive howl from the four Olympus 201's... last time i saw XH558 for real was back in 1993, and this FS video really does her justice. Thanks very much and well done once more!
@adebrownmedia I can imagine that. been there, done that, got the T shirt. Where did you work ? I was on the airframe team 3 working in 4 hanger at Waddo but spent last few months there on MEDA.. loved watching the aircraft scramble during Tacevals. Remember the sound of that rapid start when all 4 engines burst into life? The FS model in this video has a cammo underside, sure we only did that in 1982 for the Falklands.
Oh... The reason i did that was to give them an atmosphere of its day. I gave you a little chance to see all of them in colour. Sorry about the bad quality. If i saved it to my computer it would be a huge file cause i used movie mk and fraps for this.
Thanks for posting but .. it's not real? Isn't there any real operations or display footage available?

not really much need for big bombers. all the uk's nukes are based on submarines and if we need to bomb something we use tornadoes.
bombers of that size are just for carpet bombing, which is only good for mega death against civilians.

That sounds pretty decent. I've seen some vids of those spy drones but didn;t know they were expanding on it.

Only if the government hadn't dicomissioned them, they were all great aircraft but I think the Vulcan was the most aerobatic & fearfull.
