Thread: Last of the Vulcans

A cold war relic.

The story of their use and crews is frightening and interesting.

Just looking at this , its got one or more left, The plane can fly for another Ten years plus, seems the big 3 want to pull the plug and dont want to pass on the technical information to the Vulcan Trust. Bizzar.

How about that, they really do howl.
Looks gorgeous!

Don.

I can remember them flying over when I was a kid in the UK in the mid 60s.

'V' bombers, Valiants, Victors and Vulcans

I remember one did a fly past at an Amberley Air Show , a long time ago.
I was still a teenager I think so it would have been in early 70s.

AFAIR they flew it from UK.

In any case it was the loudest plane I have ever heard, and was deafening even with ears plugged when they did a low pass then hit full throttle to do a climb out.

Pedro, thanks for that video, simply fantastic, a classic example of British engineering.
What an aircraft, right up there with the Spitfire & Lancaster.
Thanks, Pickles.
