Iconic Vulcan XL426 Howl Sounds " Twilight Taxi Run at Southend Airport " ( 18/05/24 ) 

That was some looong howl on the static run, lucky to be in the right spot for the camera to pick it up

@@bobsurgranny We do thank you for doing so, and sharing it here!

The problem is that BAE has no one who can work on the Vulcans flying controls that's why 558 can not fly anymore. It's all fly by wire and computers.

The sound of a class 50 going up the Lickey Incline is music to my ears!

Cheers. Pleased you enjoyed the show

Nope funny ol' game

Welcome. Pleased you enjoyed it 👍 Thanks for the wishes 🤗

Absolutely. I did so earlier this year, amazing looking up and seeing the sheer size of the wing. One fuel tank is bigger than the front room 😉

Can't beat the Vulcan song 💪🖖

💯🖖

Well this was filmed last saturday 18th may

@@bobsurgranny Yeah, that makes sense. I mean since they formerly operated out of Doncaster-Sheffield but were kicked out once it closed

18/05/24

@@bobsurgranny thanks, I’ll keep an eye out for the next time she does this. It’s my favourite plane of all time and I’d love to see it again, even if it’s just a taxi run!

avrovulcan.com/events 7th Sept

@@bobsurgranny thank you SO much mate! That’s made my day, I’ll be there on the 7th!

Virtually irresistible 😁

Cheers. Yeah plenty of bunny that's for sure.. On the plus side its good to see so many youngsters there to see the Vulcan, our heritage and aviation as a whole.

Don't see why they don't just ferry flight it to Duxford or somewhere to museum it up in a hangar

Thankfully not the case any more, the council signed a 125 year lease on the airport, so XH558 is safe

​@@bobsurgranny they did request a short ferry flight for xh558 but because the caa is exlusively run by wankers it was turned down.

We need to stop letting them in too!Country is poorer now thanks to our 'leaders'

they spent £10,.000 on fuel running that plane, and you talk about wasting money. shame on you all,

10000 is better used for the Vulcan to exercise than to give it as aid to some country that would stab you in the back if they had a mean’s to. So stop your crying.

Lol - by the way, the Luftwaffe are still coming over the Channel

@bfc. That’s a reply that shows everyone how stupid you are.

Yeah there's always one numpty. Folks who live right by an airport then moan just wanna find something to moan about really

Testing

Says in the description

Just a high speed taxi run

They've got no flying hours dude, taxi runs/maintainence tests only. (Hopefully not a permanent decision, one can only hope she flies again.)

How is it a waste of money, folks have funded it themselves by paying to go and see it.. the event was sold out Really don't see your point. There's plenty of ways the gov wrongfully squander our money but this is totally different.. this is folks paying to be entertained by heritage. 10 grand is not a lot of money really especially spread over a few hundred folks

I know! Must be tough haha
