Here we see a very emotional flypast and display combination featuring the last airworthy Avro Vulcan (XH558/G-VLCN) and the Royal Air Force Aerobatic Team, The Red Arrows.
On Saturday 19th September 2015, '558 took to the skies of Northern Britain to display at Southport. On the way she assembled over the River Mersey with The Reds and continued to Southport to do one last flypast together before the Vulcan broke off to do her solo flight, with Kev Rumens at the controls.
As like RIAT 2015, Kev threw the old girl across the skies, each move more daring and breath-taking than the last. We see a superb spiral climb to the heavens with a brilliant howl and climb out.
Enjoy! Please don't forget to like, comment, share and subscribe for more videos just like this.

I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO SEE THIS INCREDIBLE JET 3 TIMES AND ONCE IN MY HOME TOWN. I WAS ALSO LUCKY ENOUGH TO ATTEND A TALK WITH THE GREAT PILOT MARTIN WITHERS. THANK YOU FOR THIS GREAT DETAILED VIDEO IT WILL SURE BRING BACK HAPPY MEMORIES FOR ME AS I REMEBER WITNESSING HER HOWL. SAD SHE IS NOW CONFINED TO THE GROUND.

Silent, gliding in, drops the bombs and kills the baddies, howls away like a mad demon. Beautiful aircraft. True shame.

Incredible video - thanks for posting it! I was so lucky to be working in a field near Wattisham airfield in 2014 and to my amazement see a Vulcan performing aerobatics. Presumably it was XH558. I stopped what I was doing and stood in the cab door of my Cat Challenger 75 while she flew overhead completely drowning the exhaust noise of the still-running Cat. Unforgettable!

What a memorable sight and sound, I was there standing way out on the beach that day with the Vulcan howling directly overhead and climbing straight above me. I've spent my whole working life close to all the European fighter aircraft but this aircraft I'll always remember as being so different.

A Friend of mine was doing an archaeological dig in the UK, and one of these passed overhead. possibly XH558. and their professor looked up and shuddered, and said one thing. " That, ladies and gentlemen, is the sound of Death on the wing. "

@jwhiteside91 9 лет назад
What an absolutely fantastic aircraft, it was the Vulcan on static display at Blackpool Airport that got me interested in aviation in the first place. Seen XH558 twice in the past year as part of her farewell to flight and each time she's drawn such a massive crowd. This display was just awesome, plenty of that trademark Vulcan howl to set car alarms off. Thanks for sharing.

Was wonderful to see XH558 with her 9 Praetorian Guards, the Awesome Red Arrows, wasn't expecting that one n that final spiral climb I was right on the flight centre line n oh, what a HOWWWWWLLL she gave us!

Great video, been privileged to see this magnificent aircraft over the years at Bournemouth air festival, always one of the highlights of the 4 day show (and gutted i didn't get to see this year due to op.) Brutal elegance from the Old Lady. Seeing her alongside the Red Arrows is just awesome! Very sad we will not get to witness the howl along the seafront any more.

To watch, or to record? That is always the question. On Saturday, I watched this display from the beach and enjoyed every moment of it. When so close, you can feel the power! To now have a permanent record of this unique occasion is such a bonus. Thanks Ian, you've done a great job. The crowds at Southport on Saturday were amazing, I've never seen anything like it. On the following day, there were maybe only 25%. That's the Vulcan Effect at work.
@IanHardmanPhotography
@IanHardmanPhotography 9 лет назад
+Robin Emley Vulcan effect of course, I have to say that the Reds don't have the pull 558 has in my view. Yes, they're the best in the world at what they do but they are overrated to me, but a flypast with both is unmissable! And yes, the question is always to film or to watch, but I decided to film because a memory may only last so long, film can be there to view for a good while longer, you can always go back and watch. Thanks for commenting Robin!

Very well done Ian. I've bits of that display but nothing as excellent as this, you've done her proud. It was such an emotional afternoon, with a lot of greying gentlemen trying to keep it together. I do think I'd rather see AND HEAR that than an 'Eden Project' for engineers. Cheers.
@IanHardmanPhotography
@IanHardmanPhotography 9 лет назад
+Stuart McKenzie The Etna project is a cracking idea, at least she won't be allowed to rot away and be a part of a future - an engineering future, defying the companies that will ground her. Although I would much rather see a Vulcan flying without complex aircraft status, it's better than nothing. Thanks for your comment Stuart!

Excellent video which really captures the sight and sound. Sadly Old Warden was a sell out today so had to take family to a field a few miles away...sadly not close enough but it captured the imagination of my 9yr old daughter who loved watching these videos. Incredible to see roads...fields, verges and greens with people of all ages with cameras, camcorders and selfie sticks all out to capture a glimpse. So sad we won't see her like again.

Just look at what we used to be able to do.... The sound that says. "Argentina, get off my land, we're going to fuck you over" Now it seems that BAE systems, Rolls Royce, and others are turning their backs on our country's heritage. We've seen that before with Concorde, when RR, and British airways pulled the plug. Have we in Britain become so small minded? This about more than just money, it's about national pride!
