Thanks for this wonderful video.
A Vulcan flew right over my head extremely low in 2013/14 or 15.
I was in my friend's garden in Haslemere and heard an incredibly loud deep roar heading towards me from the north. Then a Vulcan appeared, definitely lower than 500ft presumably lining up to land at Dunsfold, it flew directly over my head and was sky blue underneath. I was aware there was only one left flying so felt very privileged.... what an amazing experience. 👍✌️🇬🇧

The Vulcan had a major role in the movie „Thunderball“ in 1965.

Was fortunate to live at NAS Glenview, IL from 1978-1981 when my mom was still in the Navy. Every year we would have a Vulcan visit our base for the Chicago Air and Water show. Being a base-brat, I would quickly rub elbows with the flight crews and they would take me out to see the beast up close. I'll never forget climbing into the cockpit, which is incredibly cramped for a plane of its size. And of course, I will never forget that ungodly howl, one of the most distinctive sounds in all of aviation. I remember thinking the first time I heard it take off "That sounds different"

I remember seeing Vulcans flying over my school in the 1970s. A magnificent aircraft but for a terrible reason. What brave men who flew it. I'm pleased I got a chance to see 558 flying at the Culdrose Air show. Nice one Guy. God bless

Pretty exciting viewing, Guy Martin certainly had information overload with his insanely compressed tuition session, great credit to them both 😁

I was lucky enough to be standing in my front yard in Laverton, Victoria, Australia on 19th Sept 1965 when the Vulcan XH480 did a low level flyover of the Laverton RAAF base. I was 7 yrs old, and from my perspective, it looked like this absolutely huge aircraft was going to fly through my front door. God it was loud!

In the early 70s, the RAF used to do low level training in the Vulcan in Labrador. We used to practice doing intercepts on them at altitude, and it was amazing to see the pilot roll on up to 90 degrees of bank at 39, 000 and turn back into us. An amazing, beautiful aircraft The design of the cockpit was amusing. Like all aircraft of that era, there was no master warning panel. The caution and warning lights were situated as if someone had stood back and threw a bunch of light sockets into the cockpit, and they were wired in where they landed.

The Vulcan, one of the most impressive and truly beautiful planes I've ever seen! Thank you very much for this great video.

The Olympus 593 testbed XA903 used to fly over my primary school regularly. Our house was two miles directly off the end of Filton runway so XH557 gave the windows a good rattle when it had its late go around.

Thank you Daniel for posting this. I now live in Sydney but was having to explain what an incredible aircraft this was. I remember seeing one fly over and just being awestruck at its presence. This program captured every emotion. Loved it. We will miss seeing this majestic goddess of the sky.

When l grew up in the 1950s and 1960s they used to fly into Bigging Hill for the Annual Batlle of Britain day Airshows over my backgarden n Hayes, Kent. From 1962 l went to Farnborough Airshow and when they took off the ground shook beneath ones feet. One year 4 scrambled and disappeared in 4 minutes . Another year one had a Concorde egine strapped beneath it as a testbed. It was a awesome sight and feel whe a diamond flame out the back.

We have one of three on Display in the United States at the Sac Museum. I was 2 years old when it flew in. My parents took me to see it land wish I could remember what it was like to see it fly.

I'm french, but even feel this huuuge emotional moment so well put in light by Guy participating.
I'm sad for every last flight of a legend, this one stay as a big one.
I was thinking France must be same homage for his legend, few Mirage, Caravelle, Fuga Magister and the one post love in country, the Concorde desserve a nation tour for his last flight instead of the regular line.

❤ To all those plane become legend, we never forgot

From France 🇲🇫

Thank You for posting my friend. I can never watch enough about the Vulcan and the Blackbird. Guy says it all when he holds that sign up underneath during the engine run and the sound of that howl backs it up. A true legend and lets not forget it smoked uncle sam twice during war games...enough said.

What a great machine. I was lucky enough to watch RAF Vulcan at air show in the Eighties And this machine at later airshows

Retired CAF, QRA is one of the most calm but stressful places to be for both air and ground crew. Bells go off, aircrews heart don't slow till the gear is up, ground crews heart don't speed up till the gear is up. After gear is up, aircrews training kicks in, mind too occupied with task at hand, ground crews job is done and start to worry about whats coming at them.
