Avro Vulcan XH558 First Test Flight - Take Off

you dont just hear this thing you FEEL it at takeoff

WOO- and indeed -HOO!!!! My Dad used to work on these & told me a tale about one of the fleet which he'd worked on, which had a strange 'klonking' noise reported by the flightcrew. Upon investigation, it turned out that someone had left a CHAIR in the port wing tank after repairing s fuel sensor...

did anyone know how it howls? well its unique to the olympus 200 series engines and is most noticable at 80% ish thrust its called "intake harmonics" so the welsbourne vulcan having 300 series engines cant generate that "howl" although the southend one could

ah, thanks for explaining. Always used to hear it from my house when it would do its runs up the runway. Goosebumps everytime.

Brings back memories from the 60s. Those Olympus engines pack a punch. Fantastic!

excellent,it has taken so long to get her back in the air,good vid,i wish i had been there,looking forward to seeing her at an air show!.

Fantastic. Great sound capture.

WOOOOOO! Fly baby fly!

Love that howl!

When i saw on the news some footage like this i thought it was all a dream! After 13 years being restored and takes off tike any normal other aircraft. Its just incredible! Listening to those engines rev up to full power for take off once again! Just incredible!
