Airshowvision proudly present the awesome ex. cold war nuclear bomber - the Avro Vulcan B2 XH558.
This aircraft was saved from the scrapheap by the Vulcan to the Sky trust, headed by Robert Pleming, and after years of restoration and fund raising, made its airshow return at Waddington exactly 3 years ago.
This display is flown by top Vulcan display pilot Kevin Rumins, who easily otperforms all the other vulcan display pilots, with his crowd thrilling wingover manouvers.
Waddington airshow 2011 wasn't a classic, but this aircraft wowed the crowds and upstaged the rather disappointing USAF Thunderbirds, who still haven't discovered coloured smoke it seems?
This video is uploaded especially for my good friend Jim Connoly, ex Vulcan serviceman, walking encyclopedia on the Vulcan and extremely nice chap.
Enjoy this fine aircraft while it still flies, and if you wish to donate to the upkeep, please visit the vulcan website for details...

I have seen men close to tears from watching this aircraft over the last 2 or 3 years, it is a stunning sight when the sun hits it and the colours come out.

I was there in 2011 and loved it. I still get the shivers thinking about it now.

Just beautiful. I saw this bomber once in my life when i was 8 years old, 40 years ago fly over my house. It was on a U.S. tour. Still makes my jaw drop.

i have been to airshows all over the world and this aircraft the the one which people can not take there eyes off on the display amazing

@K1w1scot 12 лет назад

I"m sure few will argue that, along with the Spitfire's losenge shaped wings, the revised Vulcan wing shape must be the most graceful and aesthetically pleasing wingforms humans have ever made.

@Dan213456 13 лет назад

fantastic video. Incredible wing overs on takeoff and missed approach. Probably the best I've ever seen

Farewell beautiful lady ❤️

Awesome footage! The Vulcan is absolute amazing and a beautiful piece of british engineering! A truly Icon of aviation history. Also nice to hear the commentator Sean Moffet, which I met 2009 at the Sanicole Airshow in Belgium (when the Vulcan has one of his only two appearances in central europe). Thanks for sharing. BIG LIKE!!! :-)

What an amazing landing, she has the power of a heavy weight boxer and the grace of a true lady.

@stubbostubbs 12 лет назад

Not only that. It made the Argies move all their fast jets further away from the Falkands for safety and to be able to defend Argentina itself. Fantastic A/C. I donate whatever I can on occasion.

I remember vividly standing on the QRA pan at the 05 end of the runway at Scampton in 1963 or 4 during HM the Queen's visit. 4 B2 Vulcans were QRA scrambled. The noise was so intense I never heard the photographer behind me. 4 aircraft were on the runway at 1 time. The 1st doing a classic right turn out as the last one was about to v2. I have a picture of that still, taken by the Queen's official photographer, with a pic of me inset.

No problem - pity we didn't see the mighty beast at Wadd this year, but plenty of action from Waddington 2012 coming on airshowvision channel soon!

@Haydinho21 12 лет назад

Glad to say i was there to witness this =)

@Spitfiregirl01 11 лет назад

So beautiful!!!

@paulhipkiss5545 11 лет назад

just brilliant cant wait to see her over the bay of Weston super mare 22nd of june. Hopefully it will be a nice day for her and the crowd.

@george385 12 лет назад

Exactly - preserving the airframe. Roly Falk (not sure about the spelling - so apologies up from) did roll the Vulcan at it first appearance at the Farnborough Air Show. The film of it on You Tube - look up Vulcan Roll. He also blew out the factory windows (the noise of the beast) when he brought it back over the factory who made it.

@mollycox1 10 лет назад

Awesome video and yes I do have tingles down my spine!

@postierog 11 лет назад

I used to see these all the time flying out of RAF Waddington, they used to do circuits and bumps, a circuit would take them out as far as Newark.

@snowbird68 12 лет назад

fantastic video. i was there. and great weather too for a change :)

@Ebonyuk72 12 лет назад

oh god I want to see her again!!

@will1988a 12 лет назад

Great video! And the Vulcan upstaged everything at this airshow, although i wouldnt call the USAF Thunderbirds disappointing

@EdwardPupek 12 лет назад

It was a great bomber. I always enjoyed talking to the Vulcan crews in the eighties. It was the Vulcan and the F-111 that the Russians feared during the Cold War.

@kipkay2000 11 лет назад

I saw that really close at WADDINGTON AIRSHOW 2011 and it siting down in 2012 after all it needs to rest

@smartstuff7784 11 лет назад

What a great vid. Notice the high Alpha landing. Vulcans had no flaps and used brake chutes during landing runs as well as high alpha. Watched one come in at Scampton once and the chute failed. Should have seen the smoke from the wheels. Fire section was right there to put the fire out. I was close, standing QRA static on B dispersal.

@markkettle5307 12 лет назад

What a great Video A few years ago I made a Glider with the Vulcan shape in mind and here is the video to it. Watch by typing: rc slope soaring Gazelle Enjoy Mark

@francoisdupont4839 10 лет назад

What a bird ! and Launched in the early 50's (right ?) ! Probably could have flown easy up to Mach 2+ with appropriate engines (and will)

@airshowvision 12 лет назад

No problem at all mate. Did you know that Kev Rumens (the pilot) asked me for a copy of this video?

@jackdearnley-davison2533 4 года назад

This baby, and here sisters are the reason I'm deaf today.. Great aircraft to work on, especially when we fuelled here wrong. sat on here tail and pointed to the sky.. so help me Flt, it wasn't me...

@airshowvision 12 лет назад

I don't know, but he said he uses it when he does his presentations to raise funds for the project.

@airshowvision 12 лет назад

There are many breakdowns, but your luck will change eventually - it might even be sunny one day in the UK again yoiu never know?

@No1Stinger 11 лет назад

The old bird still scrubs up well. If you want to help keep this old lady flying go to (No spaces) Vulcan to the sky . org With luck future generations will not have to watch video footage to see what a beautiful aeroplane the Vulcan was!

@COBECTb1976 11 лет назад

отличная большая мишень. В такую трудно промахнуться. А нафига низ покрасили в камуфляж?

@ZemplinTemplar 12 лет назад

It's an amazing design. A pity that bad decisions made in the 1960s killed off the British aviation industry, along with its know-how.

@airshowvision 12 лет назад

. . .and the bad decisions keep on coming!

@kabong257 9 лет назад

Who cares about 8th and 17th place fighter jets! lots of vids on f35, sukhoi's best etc. what a Polish air show!!!!

So she cost £2,000,000 a year to run, how much is that to a government? they should pay to keep her flying, I have read that illegal immigrants cost us £3.7 BILLION a year, I don't want to start a political argument but I am just putting things into prospective, and Wayne Rooney could pay to keep this wonderful sister of the Lancaster flying for a year in just 1.5 months of playing football.
