Unveiled in 1952, its dramatic delta-wing, sleek airframe design, and tall single-tail fin captured the viewers’ imaginations, revealing a new step toward nuclear-age futurism.
This was the British Avro Vulcan strategic bomber, designed to deliver a devastating nuclear blow over Moscow if ever the unthinkable happened.
Seemingly plucked out of a Sci-fi story, the Vulcan soon became the star of many action films and TV shows for its mesmerizing design and imposing presence.
It wasn’t just visually striking; this movie star overwhelmed all senses. When pushed to its limits, its engines produced a distinctive and haunting cry known as the Vulcan Howl, a sound that commanded dominance in the vast expanses of the sky.
After 30 years of waiting, already near the end of its service life, the Vulcan was called up for action in the Falklands, and it had something to prove…

I grew up in England near a major airport, and was a plane spotter as a boy. We got mostly civilian types flying over on their approach, to land but one day I was in the garden practicing my fly fishing casts and I heard this incoming roar from a different direction. A low flying Vulcan appeared overhead, and it to this day is the most impressive sight and sound that I've seen in the sky, fifty years later.
saw vulcan twice in early sixties at Woomera australia, twice it flew over before the atomic tests at maralinga , vulcan bought the bombs
The Brits can work magic with sheet metal. Nearly always gorgeous designs, it's sad what foreign ownership has done to their legacy automakers
We had one land at my base during the 1970s at Loring AFB in northern Maine. It was an amazing sight to behold. It had a high stance on the ground akin to the B-58 Hustler. I found out only the pilot & co-pilot had ejection seats,the crew went down with the bird !
An awesome aircraft that looked amazing. Another splendid memory for a country that can no longer build its own military aircraft. Where are the desendants of these great engineers that we once had?
Was this one not in an old James Bond movie?
Stealing the Nukes?
SOOOOOO many incorrect statements in this video!
Heck of A howl, they used to fly over our house every year in the 80s when I was little ! Something else that plane !
A bomber with a control stick, not a yoke ….
Sums it up, really.
poor video lots of mistakes in this one
In the late seventies my dad's lorry had a puncture near the end of i think Kirton Lindsay runway. it takes a while to change a HGV tyre and all the time Vulcans were doing circuits, the howl was impressive to say the least
They just don’t consider the fact that humans take up space.
Good Video/Info.
You had to see a squadron scramble of vulcans to see the power and might of these amazing birds
Breaking news, there is one at Carlisle Airport Cumbria UK – solway aviation museum, tours also available if your on the M6 near Carlisle give it a visit it’s outside by the entrance
I was living on Tyneside. One summers day in the mid 1970s my wife and I took an elderly aunt from London to the Scottish border at Carter Bar on the A69 so she could put her foot in Scotland. From a position near the sign welcoming visitors to Scotland we looked down into Scotland and the Vale of Tweed. Suddenly something was moving against the landscape. There below us we looked down onto the backs of a pair of Vulcans as they climbed towards us. Seconds later we heard the iconic howl of Vulcans’ engines followed almost immediately by the stupendous roar as they skimmed at what felt like an few metres over our heads before they descended down Redesdale before they disappeared towards Catcleugh Reservoir. My aunt, a resident of Mill Hill in London was totally impressed and for years afterwards told of the day a Vulcan nearly took her hat off!
I attended Mildenhall air shows from 83 to around 96 and only two non-US displays made US service personnel stop and look up. The red arrows and the Vulcan.
The image used for the video thumbnail is that of Avro Vulcan XM573, Located at the Strategic Air Command and Aerospace Museum in Ashland, Nebraska, USA. I actually work there and can confirm that she’s undergoing a full static display restoration.
wows has evolved into ww2 homing torpedos, turbo jet powered attack squadrons from carriers, and mountain-piercing scifi radar on super-powered cruisers, and ships with thunderous depth charges. give me a break. 20 knot submarines. believe that.
The amount of ads on this channel is really losing my interest
So where is this distinct “Vulcan Howl”?
No mention of the 1960s US Operation Skyshields when Vulcans "bombed" US territory TWICE then? 🤔 🙂
Эти самолеты бомбили Фолклендские острова…когда там были аргентинские войска.🧐
The Avro Vulcan. Also known as the British bomber that "nuked" the USA twice.
skip the boring warthunder advert , begins at 1.00, ends at a ridiclous 2.29
The F4 couldn't catch the vulcan but the E.E. lightning could and did during such tests
Saw the Vulcan at an air show in the Lake District. Sat in a little boat on the lake it was amazing how they threw that bomber around right overhead
Don't forget the Vulcans managed to drop several nukes on the USA in 1961.
Quite a few in fact, with no losses whatsoever.
Oh yes, training nukes.. sorry, did I forget to say that. Yes, training nukes.
your forgetting what the vulcan was designed for… to carry nukes into the soviet union… you dont need to be accurate with a nuke
Its combat record wasn't blank.
One of my favourite aircraft along with the EE Lightning. I feel privileged to have seen both flying.
Beautiful plane and ofc british
I had the honour to sit next to a former Vulcan crew member on a flight from Southampton . He even sent me photos of him and the crew
When I was growing up in rural Oxfordshire, one summer, a Vulcan would regularly fly over our home, at low altitude, bound for Brize Norton and powered by what was to be Concorde’s engine, in test. Later, Concorde flew over, undercarriage down, on test flights. We had old sash windows, and I can still remember the frames rattling.
There was a low-altitude military corridor overhead, with a number of RAF camps nearby, including Upper Heyford, so we were also treated to the occasional group of 6-or-so F4 Phantoms, and later F1-11’s.
I had the pleasure to see that beast fly on several occasions. The sound of its engines were particularly impressive on an eight year old. I continue to follow XH558.
