XH558 UK tour, filmed on the outside of the base via Samsung S5 piggybacked on my DSLR tripod mounted

The magnificent Vulcan and the three smaller F-15s flying together in joy and friendship! Always gives me goosebumps to watch the ineffable mojo and beauty of these diverse yet related aircraft, created for death and destruction yet stunning beyond all others.

Lovely, really enjoyed that, thanks. I showed this to the missus and she said "Isn't it amazing how the little ones manage to keep up with the big one!"

Back in the day, (1966-68), while stationed at RAF Mildenhall, I used to go to the Rod & Gun Club at Lakenheath to have one of the best steaks around.

I was there on the day and it was a sight to behold. Thank you for sharing the video. But the Eagle going vertical takes some beating ! Love Lakenheath - always worth a visit.

[@guywilson187]

What a great video, thanks for sharing. Two aircraft types from different eras together and it shows just how big the Eagle is as a fighter. Such a stunning sky too. Seeing the Vulcan in formation with these F-15s gave me chills. Lovely stuff.

Guy Wilson: Thank you buddy your most kind, the day had very mixed blessings, we managed to dodge the showers luckly, compared to the airshows she was much higher with the Eagles, but LN is my local base and the '15 is my most favourite jet, so it had to be captured on video. Again many thanks :-)

[@guywilson187]

You did a great job mate. Like you, the F-15 is also my favourite aircraft. I live near RAF Waddington so saw the Vulcans regularly growing up. Now I really need to get down to Lakenheath sometime before the USAF pull the Eagles out.

[@cambsflyer42]

Guy Wilson: Oh the Eagles are going to be there for many years yet mate, don't believe to much what circulates. Again many thanks, if your on Facebook send me an email [e-mail] and I'll exhange details, as I've hundreds of photographs which may be right up your street. I've been to the Wave a few times and know John fairly well, he's a oidl bloke, we do Mildenhall and CGY Too, as it sounds like your part of our crowd, so it'll be good to see another fellow snapper, and it's always very friendly at Lakenheath, so hopefully see you there in the near future :)

Im so pleased i managed to see her and and caught her at cambridge also. thanks for posting

[@cambsflyer42]

Pleasure my friend :-)

[@johnlawrence7150]

Lovely old kite ,designed in the late forties by Avro , and helped with keeping of the peace all those years ago. But im afraid its the end of those days ,and lets hope their is not another war just jaw jaw to keep the peace .The last of the V bombers , Valiant ,Victor , and Vulcan .

[@cambsflyer42]

Yes Chris from what I've heard and seen they love her too

[@cambsflyer42]

Thanks Dave :-)

Great cloud formation

[@Radio478]

Great video

[@aleccap5946]

one of my all time favourites the delta Vulcan, did you know the Victor had a bigger bomb bay ?

[@mike.47]

Doesn’t get much better than that.....

[@christianlebordelais]

Bon travail....

[@dustrussell5783]

Americans and the British together is unstoppable...

[@murraysilke9867]

So sad she’s not flying anymore

[@archangel2143]

I know the two types of aircraft are from different eras but looking at them flying together you know if they were on a bombing mission they would get through to the target and blow the crap out of the enemy. 🇺🇸 and 🇬🇧 together!

[@Radio478]

Vulcans always win, can out turn any fighter

[@williamjohnson7699]

Was that the camera making that noise or someone hitting a bottle with a stick

[@tectorama]

One of the traits of a DSLR

[@Radio478]

Yet hey, vulcans still the best

[@ABPhotography1]

Would love to see an F-15 at East Fortune Airshow in Scotland.

[@ukchris64]

I wonder if the Americans are as impressed with her as we all are?

[@louisbrecheen7243]

ukchris64 ....yes we are.

[@nctarheel6152]

ukchris64 Yes we are. Lovely lady.

[@garywagner6855]

You beat we are, I seems the American F-15's have the Vulcans back. But we always have and we always will.

[@Enid2Sacramento]

Abso-bloody-lutely!

[@tectorama]

I remember standing behind an American at Bentwaters, when he caught his first ever sight of a Vulcan. (It may have been XL426 which is now at Southend)... What the hell is that ?, he exclaimed.

[@Radio478]

Uk were the best, never underestimate the British

[@newton18311]

The Bomber that nuked America, twice.

[@Radio478]

Pull away

[@Radio478]

Usa, remember, no uk, no vulcan, then no usa

[@lauriestokes6388]

The F15’s didn’t do the best job of staying in formation with the Vulcan

[@CtrlOptDel]

They're trying their best 😏

[@alancolwell7078]

The one on the starboard side stayed with her through out the turns.
