So hard to find the original owners of air show footage. I always end up seeing tons of videos and shorts from people using footage like this. Wish people would stop doing that so you and others could get the recognition they deserve for the work they did.

The Avro Vulcan is a flying work of art.

I was at Scampton when they were there. 6 Vulcans scrambling is something I will never forget.

Amazing that the Vulcan first flew 72 years ago! It still has a certain futuristic look.

The Vulcan is hands down the most beautiful bird that ever flew. I had the honour of watching one of her last flights in Canada at the CNE airshow in the 90's.Look out Godzilla Mothra has taken to the sky.

The look and sound of the Vulcan is unsurpassed. Nearly 70 years old and still perfect 🇬🇧

The SAAB Draken is just a work of art.

The Sound of the V22 Engines! So Amazing! 😎

Bootiful! Just bootiful! Thanks Bob! I really enjoyed seeing the Gnats. They used to fly over our village all the time as they popped up out of the A5 pass. Those were the days...

Welcome. The Gnats 😍 Wish I'd seen Ray Hanna fly in them

The V-22 with the "weird" glowing blade-tips, that's actually quite common on rotor-wings... Low-light ground safety-feature, and also for formation-flying in the dark: blade-tip lights.

Used to live a few miles from a RAF base where Vulcans were stationed, often saw them overhead. Beautiful, but unbelievably loud!

I was a baby when I lived at RAF Finningley (1972ish) when it was a Vulcan base and I remember going to airshows as a young child and being in awe at the majesty of the Vulcan (that amd temperary deafness)

The V-22's have rotor tip lights for landing at night in tight areas.

Romour has it, that the SAAB Viggen can be refuled and rearmed in 15min by 3 "farm hands" on a remore forrest road.

Privileged to have seen Concordes and Vulcans fly. Nothing today creates as much excitement and awe.

A Vulcan take off is the most powerful display I ever experienced. Get many of these pizza deliveries every day though, living near Geilenkirchen where these are stationed.

Just have to love a Harrier! Also Vulcan to the Sky!

Awesome footage. The Vulcan is a favourite of mine. I lived next to the RAAF base in Laverton Victoria in 1965. A Vulcan (XH480) did a low level flypast, and to a 7yr old boy, it looked like it was about to fly into my front door! Still remember the Vulcan "howl".

Very cool stuff. Draken,Vulcan, & Tornado. Still capable in their field.

Yes, the Vulcan is! Miss seeing it at Glenview NAS. For the Chicago air/water show. 😢

Hi Bob , excellent video, you really cracked me up with the world’s largest pizza delivery comment lol. Those glowing rotor tips are pretty shyt hot. I’ve never seen that before. Thank you so much Heidi ❤🤗😁👍

Thanks yeah those Osprey formation lights are mega to see in the night sky and if you were unaware of the V-22 you'd swear it was aliens 😉

I heard the crackling! YAAY!

the Vulcan -- the scariest looking and sounding bomber ever made.

Wow, some VERY GREAT AMERICAN AIRCRAFTS! John P.

Great stuff, lovely video. Gotta love the SAAB Draken and the Rotor blades on the Osprey in the dark were well groovy. Here's a fun fact, the pilot of the Vulcan is Tommy 'gingernob' Becklethwaite and apart from being quite drunk he only has 3 working fingers, what a gift to the nation he is.

I always had a big soft spot for the Victor bomber when it was sitting on the apron at Prestwick Scotland it looked like it was doing mach 1 very beautiful aircraft❤❤

That little Italian boxcar of a C-27 lost a LOT of altitude doing that roll. Not really a thing to try for fun... That pilot understood that and went UP before trying it, but a newbie might not... Reminds me of the story of a Tutor student-pilot in the RCAF in the 80s (or maybe 70s). He went to his dad's farm, close by Moose Jaw, Sask. and tried flying inverted. He pulled up on the stick to go up, but it meant DOWN in his reverse attitude. plowed straight in, right in front of Daddy... Sad day for that family.

That Spartan is the one that delivers all my parcels.

Great selection.

Saw a Vulcan during an airshow at Amberley Qld Australia. When she lifted off and went close to vertical, the earth shook.

Thanks, mate.

If you look at the underside of the ECM pod at the tail you will notice a slightly fuzzy small lump. An external switch is mounted here, in the cockpit it's indicator light will be green, if it turns amber/yellow the the tail is about to touch the ground, if it turns red, then the operating arm of that switch is likely to be embedded in the fuselage of the aircraft (Naughty Skipper!) - I only ever saw that happen once in our Squadron (101 Squadron RAF Waddington)

Quite the crew with the Vulcan. Surprised they were not in a military vehicle

From 1976-80 I was stationed at Barksdale AFB ,La and we hosted the International Bombing Competition. I always loved when the Brits would arrive with the Vulcan and Victors. The Vulcan always put on an impressive performance. That big bird is surprisingly agile for the size it is. It’s one of the planes I loved watching at the annual air show. A shame they are all gone.

An old RAF Officer told me a fantastic story from one of those competitions when we sent the Vulcan across the pond. I can't recall if it was him, or he overheard it but apparently two very high up "Top Brass" were monitoring the competition and the American Officer was heard to say "those Brits have got themselves a sports bomber and we're flying a bomb truck" referring to the B-52's. I always found that amusing. Horses for courses I say. If you want a few bombs putting somewhere very accurately and very quickly. Sports Bomber. You want to remove a location from the map. Bomb Truck. 🇬🇧 🤝🇺🇸 Long live the special relationship.

The V22 may have its troubles but you CANT say that its not AMAZING for a first-gen tiltrotor aircraft. I fucking LOVE the V22

As a kid I remember going to visit my Gran and on the way past Scampton I saw Severn or Eight Vulcans take off one after the other . It was the end of the fifties or very early sixties.

I worked on vulcans in the RAF, And managed to get a flight in a Vulcan

Not very thrilling, but watching the 747 roll out of a turn onto the centreline and then land with such a beautiful wire-catching flare makes me think the pilot spent too much time landing on carriers before they put him in charge of the C&C bus.
