Vulcan XH558 Departs to Waddington - 03-07-08

Back


After many years of hard work, millions of £ in fundraisng, and several test flights, on 3-July-08 the restored Vulcan Bomber XH558 was granted her "Permit to Fly". Seen here departing Bruntingthorpe airfield (her home for the last 15 years) on a trip to Waddington where she will perform her first airshow display since the early 90s.

A great reminder of why it was all worth it.

(This is my first YoooToooob video, so I hope you enjoy it!)

The sound of what I know as the 'Vulcan Howl' just after her wheels started to roll, brought goose-bumps to my skin and the hair on the back of my neck stood on end. I have missed this plane so damn much ;-)

i think the vulcan is one of the few striking things we see in the sky... theres the F22, F117, B2, and B1 along with it, but definitely the vulcan is my favvvv

I remember when a young child in the long summer months we had, laying in the back garden looking up at the clouds, there would be about 6 or 7 of us,

we would try to make shapes out of the clouds, faces, monsters etc,

every time we did this we would always see a vulcan way up high pass over heading towards scampton, such memories,,,


proud to be british!
