Top 10 Vulcan Videos - Day 2

Time for day 2 now on the Top 10 Vulcan videos, and remember they are in no particular order...

Today's clip comes from the Air tattoo many years ago, in the days when you would have guaranteed hot weather with sunny blue skies, something which is a rarity these days at RIAT, but you always hope that this year will be different!

The actual video is a corker, starting off with the B52 take off, which as we all know is unique in itself, but then follows the main act - the howl of the Vulcan, and what a howl this one has too - the piece I love most about the vid is that there is a lot of mystery around it, as the person filming sort of gets lost amongst the motorhomes & cars (don't you just love seeing those old cars again!), also great to revisit those days when you could actually take your car on the base at Fairford!

Anyway, I've digressed, but just love the way the camera here just waits for that moment for the Vulcan to appear from behind that motorhome on the right, and then loses it seconds later only for the stunning lift on take off to have already happened!

Great quality vid from years gone by...get that sun factor 10 on now...
