Beautiful beast of the sky although its terribly noisy Had the privilege of being inside this giant bomber while on a.course at RAF Wyton in Cambridgeshire in the early 70s Really a beautiful bird and wish i could see it flying again

Excellent, so great to see another Vulcan living and breathing 👍

[@martinpattison1567]

A wonderful Aircraft. It will be nice to see it return to the air. Martin. (Thailand)😵‍💫☺☺☺

[@JibzTV-Aeroviewz]

It will never be permitted to return to the air I'm afraid. It's a complex four engine jet that's well over 60 years old. None of the remaining Vulcans will ever fly again sadly.

WHAT A PLANE! and the massive respect for the pilots to show the restraint in not actually taking off lol. The howl takes me back to when I was a kid, never experienced anything like it. Awesome

[@polyphonics557]

I wonder how much fuel this exercise burns (amount and cost)?

[@JibzTV-Aeroviewz]

At tick over or idle power XL426 costs £40min... This goes up to £400/min when all 4 engines are on full power. 😳 This is one of the reasons none of the engineers are paid, they all prefer to hear her sing. 😍

[@polyphonics557]

@@JibzTV-Aeroviewz so somewhere in the £1600 to £2000 range. Money well spent for the howl just a pity she can't spread her wings.
