I never tire of watching videos of this aircraft, a thing of beauty, and aptly named... "The Spirit of Great Britain". What a machine! 😎😎😎. I was directly under the flightpath of one at low level once - I'll never forget the majesty of it going overhead, and the roar of those engines.

In the 1970's my dad and I tried in vain to get to an airshow at RAF Leuchars in Fife. I remember how disappointed I was when we were still stuck in traffic, not in sight of the airfield, when the show began. About half an hour later we watched a Vulcan do a fly by, then go vertical on full afterburners. Seeing the V-bird in full plan profile was amazing. And the sound of those olympus engines was thunderous. After seeing that we just turned around and went home.

Nice memory, just one thing though, the Vulcan doesn`t have afterburners, but they were fitted to Concorde so it could accelerate to supersonic speeds..

A similar thing happened to me at RAAF Laverton in Australia, 1975 I think. So I stood outside the base on the main Road . At the end of Display I heard something, turned around & there was a Mirage 111 at about 40 ft. There were 6 in line I think. It sounded like a truck until it passed me then made their jet noise as they passed. I ended up being in the best spot . That noise was in my head for weeks, just amazing.

I worked as a crash & rescue firefighter at Goose Air Base in Labrador, Newfoundland. The RAF flew Vulcans there to train for low-level flights over the northern tundra and often they would perform these same long runway landings and use almost the full length of the main runway - over 10,000 feet. They just seemed to balance so easily! I've never seen any other aircraft perform so smoothly! I still think the Vulcan is the most beautiful plane ever made!

I saw the Vulcan at RAF Finningley in the late 70s. It was a fly-in, display & fly-out. It drifted in along the flight line on "tickover" & at the end of the runway the pilot opened the taps fully, stood it on its tail & climbed just about vertically to start the display. You didn't hear it, you *FELT* it! The roar was incredible & yet, for a heavy bomber, it handled like a heavy fighter. Absolutely awe-inspiring. We were privileged to see its return to the display circuit & I saw it at Waddington in 2014, take off, display & land. It made me proud to be British...🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

Delta wing's just have the best flight profile due to the large air surfaces. It's why they make the best gliders for their size, it's why 3D aerobatic aircraft drastically increase the wing depth to match what the delta wing always had. Why do you think the F22 performs as well as it does in high alpha?

Was at Marham with 617Sqn Tornado/ When 55 Sqn was still going. Had the very good fortune to the final farewell of the Victor. My god it was an awesome display. They did a scramble take off. They almost ploughed the grass with a wingtip. The next 10 minutes was amazing. Speed runs, power climbs at full thrust. Scaring the tower. The pilot, after he landed, got an interview... without coffee. He simply said. I'll never fly that again. Why should I care.

I used to work at the factory that made these but many years after they had finished production. I was working there in the mid 1980s but every year a Vulcan would come back and do a demonstration thank you flight for all the factory. What I remember was it coming down the runway at low altitude, then the pilot would point the nose up and turn up the gas. The power and noise was simply incredible and rabbits everywhere thought that the world had come to an end - 100s of them !!. They would come running out of their burrows at breakneck speed thinking "wtf was that?". Fabulous memory.

I lived 8 miles from the former RAF St. Athan base in South Wales, and for many years loved the open day event. The highlight of the flying display was the Vulcan. First approach skimming down the runway at about 200 ft, and lighting the afterburners and going almost vertical. The delicious deafening roar and feeling your insides shaking was unbelievable. Second pass down the runway banked to port with bomb bay doors open, showing the crowd the empty bay, and thankfully never having to be used in the role it was designed for. Very happy memories. 2nd fav in the display was the EE Lightening.

I remember seeing one of the first Vulcan Mark 1 aircraft when it came to the Base we were stationed at in England back in early 1956. It came there for an airshow and needless to say, it was the show stopper. All the British airplanes, being so different from American ones; were always a sight to see for us, as I am sure our American planes were for the English/Scot/Welsh peoples. Thankfully, we are truly ALLIES and FRIENDS even over and above our political differences.
