No mention of the 1956 crash, or that pilot and co-pilot had ejection seats but the rest of the crew had none.
Just imagine the old Chap gardening at 8 mins sees the Vulcam fly overhead was born into a world of horsedrawn vehicles and the steam train.Talk about rapid progress brought on by 2 World Wars.
Beautiful plane!
Documentaries used to be so good
20:48 unfortunate name
I will say the Vulcan looks really impressive, but over its entire active life span of 30ish years, its credited for putting some potholes in a runway and taking out a couple radar structures? Damn, talk about a massively immense waste of time and money lol. No wonder even as a moderate aviation fan I hadnt ever even heard of it until the other day..
At 8:12 that Avro 707 is going round the corner on the ground incredibly fast! Try that with most aircraft and they'd ground loop or tip over.
Avro's chief aerodynamics chap was called Peter Sutcliffe, poor guy.
We used to wake up, half an hour before we went to sleep, lick run-way clean wit' tongue, then work; twenty-seven hours a day, ten days a week, down at Avro factory……AND, we used to have t'pay manager f't apprenticeship!…. Tell that t'kids t'day, and they'll not believe ya."….
BRITISH BEAUTY
That's so awesome!!! he just walks up in a suit, jumps in the plane and does barrel rolls and lands…
And this great aircraft just became available in X-Plane. I think I know what I'll be learning to fly in the next few days 😉
I noticed the engines were very close to the fuselage like the infamous Comet passenger jet. Was there ever any problems like with the Comet?
Democracy is actually Demon-cracy
Bob Lindley does not get the credit he deserves. He had a hand in the Avro Canuck and Arrow and the space shuttle as well. Roy Chadwick may have given the go ahead for the design, but it was Mr Lindley who came up with the idea for the Vulcan.
Now THAT'S what represents the Best of British!!
quite informative.. however, why, at 50:27 is the crewman wearing what appears to be a Victor patch? inquiring minds want to know…
Wouldn't have taken but a little redesigning to turn the Vulcan into a Stealth Bomber. What a beautiful aircraft.
I had a swim in the sea in Bournemouth while the last flying Vulcan flew over me…what a sound..what a day.
Farn-bruh Airshow.
That is why I am concerning, that Canadian developed and made, one of the >>> CF-105 Avro "ARROW" >>>,(RF 202 or 206), has successfully escaped from being cut to the pieces by Canadian torches, and being untouched somehow ended up in Britain, because it was the same AV Ro. Company, which made the BOTH airplanes: CF-105 Avro ARROW (Arctic interceptor) & then Avro VULCAN (Arctic bomber) !!!!!
Sitting in one of these was a dream come true and seeing the last flight was in incredible! What a machine. Stunning!
Everywhere german technology. Delta wings, axial flow engines
It had a short life when compared to the B52.Big Ugly Fat F*cker!No,not as attractive as the Vulcan.
an icon of the Abbotsford Airshow during the 1970's and early 80's…
Top of the range..Wonder how politicians that kill time,money,dedication,ideas,enthusiasm,skill,craftsmanship etc..at the stroke of a pen,sleep at night..
Awesome documentary awesome plane.
For those interested in the Falklands raid:

If UK government had kept this marvellous aircraft like USA kept b52….
Just to hear those engines one more time…
I was buzzed by the last operational Vulcan, mid channel, in the late 80s; what an incredible experience!
I love the vulcan, I went all over the UK to watch her fly but sadly, just like her, I have been grounded too, but maybe you can help me find my wings again.

Thank you.
The Avro Vulcan..Probably the most beautiful plane every built. Definitely in the top 10. Put the Comet and the Lockheed Constellation looking wise as in the civilian aspect aesthetically.✈️
Back in the days when testing the prototype meant "Dressing for the Occasion!" I have never seen a 500 Ton Rubber Press Operator in a Suit and Tie! You have to love the British for their sense of formality and fair play. "Jolly good show…. Tea anyone?" As for technical achievements….. World leaders. Look at the Spitfire, Merlin Engine, Whittle Jet Engine, and Radar to mention just a few. Also, Trains….. they just re-produced the Tornado, a coal fired steam locomotive capable of sustained speeds up to 100 MPH to be able to haul tourists and share the main line. Lots of examples of engineering, design, & workmanship. As for the Vulcan…. if you have never seen one fly in person…. you have truly missed a great experience. For several years, the Vulcan came for the annual Abbotsford Air Show in British Columbia Canada. A highlight of the show to see it perform steep and tight maneuvers all within the confines of the airfield. So massive a wing, they called it the "Aluminum Overcast." I saw it several times and was amazed every time.
6:56 Definite contender for the best dressed test pilot award…
Volatol
When aircraft were art.
It is quite hilarious that the film director (2006 ??) has casually inter-mixed the Mk.1 and Mk.2 variants. Perhaps this happened during the 1950-60's. [Aussie in BC]
Much better than the one featuring John sitting
Commentary by that well known actor John Standing with his distinctive voice. But most don't know that his full title is: Sir John Ronald Leon Standing, 4th Baronet.
some say that Swedish drakken was the first delta wing aircraft.
55:12 He set her down like a butterfly with sore feet!
It was an awesome plane and I'm happy to have seen her last displays live.
What I didn't know about the Vulcan is the use of composite materials, processed in the same way they process carbon fibre composites now.
somwhere here on youtube is a docu where they restore and fly this beauty
Is there footage of Roly doing that barrel roll?
It's amazing to think that the first flight of the Vulcan was only five years after the first flight of the Convair B-36.
Remarkable how the test pilots of that era flew … in suit and tie, and dress shoes!
The most beautiful aircraft ever built. Marvelous engineering. Brits should be proud.
We still use these techniques for certain composite materials.
Me and my Clifford were in charged
