VC-10 Go-around on Landing RAF Brize Norton

The Video cannot show really how loud it is when a VC10 does a late missed approach above your head but it is mind shatteringly loud!

An excellent video. The VC-10s have Rolls Royce Conway engines which are a low by-pass ratio turbofan. These are very noisy and produce a fair amount of smoke on full power.

Thanks, very true, they are vey impressive and great fun to watch while they are still about.

@109Mechanik - nice, love the VC-10! I have been on the Omani Royal VC-10 at Brooklands - would give anything to fly on one, or better still fly one! can you go to Brize Norton and get good views?

[109Mechanik]

@gf3106 There are great views to be had of the Vc-10's still flying at Brize just like this!

nice. how noisy is this compared to, say, a typhoon?

[109Mechanik]

I reckon the typhoon is louder!
