The Vulcan - RAF's Top 10 Warplanes | Forces TV 

It still looks amazing nearly 70 after design...........

You Brits certainly built some lovely aircraft - this one is one of the most impressive.

I remember seeing 558 flying over my home after an airshow some years ago. By a stroke of good luck I was in my garden as she flew over. Stunning aircraft.

Not only stunning looking but second only to a merlin powered aircraft for sound. Real shame they can't keep one flying.

My dad was a Navigator Radar on Vulcans in the 1980s and was involved in the Falkland’s Raid.

gosh.. i love this cold war planes, speccialy the "Vulcan" 💝 1952? unbelievable modern for its time.

The jet wash off one of these in a climb hit my old MK3 Cortina and bottomed out the suspension - it was like being squatted - great for setting off car alarms in a car park - not so funny when you have a car full of kids driving along near a runway : )

I feel very lucky to have seen this aircraft fly on numerous occasions very low directly over head at full power. I wish I will and the future generations will get to see it fly again one day...

Iv got a big model of the Vulcan a very special aircraft! If u was ever lucky enough to see and hear one in the flesh u never forget that howl! 😍

Its really SAD that all British projects cancelled and destroyed in favour of American analogs.

i grew up in the same village the factory was in at Woodford aerodrome. many memories of those days

Vulcan, Valiant and the Victor bombers are works of art.

What a special sight it was and from the same man that conceived the Lancaster

I LOVE the Vulcan bombers. I have seen that Vulcan that is on display. One made an emergency landing at Pueblo Memorial Airport (KPUB) in Pueblo, Colorado in the late '70s.

The Vulcan was NEVER obsolete, there were too many people who had a supersonic agenda.

Doncaster, YORKSHIRE The home of the VULCAN!

Hopefully by 2020 our forces will be MUCH larger if they put our defense budget up to about 70bil

In 1978 I was a Vulcan flying at an air show in Guam. Beautiful sight!

I feel privileged to have seen her with my own eyes fly at two airshows in recent years. What a magnificent beast with raw power. I kept thinking if the Americans could justify upgrading and maintaining the equally impressive B52 why we couldn't do the same with Vulcan. Such a shame.

must say that the Avro vulcan was an amazing plane , too bad they didn`t keep them , and that howl , like music💪

You never forget that howl of Vulcan and the feeling of immense power you got through your body and senses as she flew over throttles open! Such a beautiful majestic aircraft that I personally miss on the air show circuit ☹ impressive girl. But as they say "don't cry because it ended, smile because it happened"

The Great Britain's ( And God Save the Queen) or the British Isles's ( And God Save the Queen) or the United Kingdom's ( And God Save the Queen) Royal Air Force's Vulcan Strategic Heavy Bombers looks a bit like the U.S. Air Force's B---1 Strategic Air Command's Heavy Bombers and also the Vulcan Strategic Heavy Bombers also looks like the all---Blessed,all---deadly and all---advanced as well as our legendary Canadian Avro Arrow multi---role fighters/light bombers invented,built and developed by our all---appointed,all---chosen and all---gifted Canadian aeronautical engineers of the 1950's decade.And "Soar High" with our United Kingdom's ( And God Save the Queen) Royal Air Force Strategic Air Command military aviators or fliers!!!

Great video thank you

why does he say only 3 survive? 19 survive around the world. as far as i know the one at Southend airport, Vulcan XL426 is the only one still moving about under her own power (they had it going up the runway today 12 12 2020) .

I am 100% SURE that XM558 will fly again one day :)

I think they used a Vulcan as a test bed for the Concord engines. Am I correct?

British planes looks amazing also the name feels very pleasant to the ears. Do Brittain still design fighter planes?

can't wait for the GR4

Between the Lancaster, Canberra, Vulcan, Victor and Valiant, the British built the best Bombers.

Mach 1 at altitude, ooh, I'm scared. It was obsolete for about thirty years. We should have had the TSR2, but Wilson and Healey scrapped it.

She gave the Argentine's serious underpants problems. The S.A.S. is a much messier story.

Looks & sounds beautiful.

Thank you for contributing over 2% to your national defense.

"Only three survive" the narrator says, doesn't he mean around 19 complete airframes, and surviving nose sections?

King Charles needs to get his hand in his pocket and get one of these classic British aviation back in the air, the pride of England every time we see her fly it brings a sense of national pride to all our heart. "Come on Charlie" Do England a favour Mate.

My grandpa was navigator on one of these

I like it too... beautiful flying manta

The Lancaster's son

My favourite plane ever

3:56 good luck with that one

Brilliant

RIP

3 survive??? erm.......

7:46 I can think of more than 3 that are still around.

Oh my memories of the Vulcan. I remember when i was air hostess on that fateful trip to the Malvinas. They said it would get a bit hairy, so i took extra razors and a bin bag full of Veet. I served canapes and Lambrusco to the crew, and the dozen or so African illegals hiding in the Bomb bay. I thought when they said this trip was life changing, it was for the better, but now i realise the laughter from my agent was a bad omen that this was my employment card they would like to change! However, as things were, it wasn't too bad. By now the crew had found the Illegals and they were all sitting in the bomb bay sharing a few spliffs and talking about there experiences. It freaked me out for a bit who was flying the plane but they said George was at the controls, so i chilled a bit and snorted a line with Withers, off the back of Bongani, (whom i think had died a few hours previously, but i wasn't sure, or cared). The rest seemed a bit hazy, with planes and noise and sudden drugged induced paralyses. But i came out of it due to the scream of the engines as we climbed over the Malvinas for the attack run, (coupled with the scream from me as an erect penis suddenly wedged up my ass from 'Bongani the untruthful',) With this, i knew my time on British Airways xm598 was cumming to a close. As we dropped our payload (and the stowaways) on the cursed Argies, i knew this experienced was the test and improvement of my life that i could learn from, and teach my children and there children, (and maybe there children?) about the lessons of never think you will amount to nothing, as life can throw a curve ball, and you are suddenly written into history for all time!! So.... if anyone's got any spare change.....?
