Vulcan XH558 over South Wales

[@2good2often]

The Vulcan was a regular visitor to Abbotsford Air Show in the 60's and 70's ,, those Olympus engines at full throttle ! What a Sound !!

What a magnificent sight to see the last ever flight of the Vulcan XH558 flying over Risca In South Wales. I wish i was there to Witness this myself I’d ❤that very much indeed. All the best for 2023 .

This is mine and was my late fathers favourite plane. We were sat in his garden that day, chatting over a whiskey and then a shadow was cast on the garden, we turned to see what had caused it, XH558 appeared and flew straight over the top of us......fantastic.

What a mighty aircraft!

I was on a temporary duty assignment with the USAF in Goose Bay Labrador babysitting 16 C130. I was on the flight line when I heard a strange aircraft above the overcast. I looked up and saw a Vulcan break cloud and land. He taxied right in front of me. Definitely one of the most beautiful aircraft ever made.

Awesome piece of kit.

At the last display she flew for us here (Jersey, CI), I left my family and mates to move a little further forward on the hill for a better view, taking my beer with me. I found myself stood right next to a guy who couldn’t have been more of a polar-opposite to me. There’s me, drinking a lager, with my shaved head, swearing like a sailor with excitement l, and there’s this dude, a complete anorak (he was actually wearing a blue anorak) with the thick black-rimmed glasses, huge telephoto lens, you get the jist. After she passed us by, myself and this guy who I’d never met before (or since) looked at each other and we were both in tears, and without a word we both just hugged each other (getting teary-eyed just thinking about that moment), it was a somewhat difficult Ed but strangely beautiful thing. That’s how iconic Vulcan was, it didn’t matter what world you came from or what world you live in, we all felt the same, she had power over us and still holds a special place in our hearts, Thanks for sharing your video 🙂 🤝

In the 70’s my Scout group had close liaisons with the local ATC cadets. I was a telecoms engineer and managed to get a sound circuit from the Vulcan cockpit they had outside their hut into the hut. Great for training the airmen and ground crews of today.

When I saw this plane as a child growing up in the sixties I thought even as a child that we had achieved the extent of aircraft technology and nothing was ever going to surpass it.

No howling?

[@KumaBean]

She didn’t constantly howl, you had to be in the right place at the right time as she throttled-up 🍻
