I've never heard something like that

Very nice sound and editing. I hadn't seen this particular first-flight video before. Thanks.

well worth the money, and well worth a trip for me in 2008 to see the beast airborne again.

well done to all.

Wonderful vid, thank you.
It is curious that the undercarriage wasn't retracted. Perhaps they were testing "dirty" flying characteristics as opposed to a gear failure?
Whatever the reasons, it is a real dream come true to see this wonderful aircraft back in the air!

They did retract the gear ,just look carefully at the sky news vid on youtube and their long range camera can pick it up.

Test flights for new (or heavily reconditioned) aircraft are almost always carried out with the landing gear down

why is the gear down all the time, im sure at waddington, finningly and scampton, ok 40 years ago, the pilot pulled it up when the ship was in the air. or am i missing something obvious. a small clue, i was on a lighning squadron at Binbrook.
good video though,
cheers

Interesting to hear you were at Binbrook. I grew up in Market Rasen and it was a special treat when I was a kid to go and see the Lightnings.

Excellent clip Joanna. Look forward to Part 3 of the Vulcan DVD.

Brilliant ... and what a greaser landing! Pity they left the u/c down, but it was a first flight. Hope there's lots more to come
