| Tony Baldwinson Leeds, Yorkshire, England., OTH | I just uploaded 4 pictures of this amazing beast of a plane. When I was about 6 years old (around 1957) my Dad took me to a local air show and I saw my first Vulan Bomber. Spine tingling describes the feeling. Now I am 60 years old and it has the same effect on me. 03/10/2012 @ 05:03 [ref: 54205] |
| Larry Adams , MD | I was stationed at Goose AFB in Labrador during 1961-62. Half of the base was USAF and half RCAF. Periodically all 3 of the "V" aircraft came through. While they all were impressive, non were as awesome looking as the Vulcan. Watching them land, takeoff, and fly were beautiful sights to see. 02/08/2011 @ 07:24 [ref: 35950] |
| John Robinson Lincoln Lincolnshire, OTH | XH558 has taken to the skies again over Bruntingthorpe England. These first test sorties went very well. What a fantastic sight to see this awsome bird back in the air. I don\'t think there was a dry eye watching. What an achievment to those involved and a big thank you to all those who have donated. 02/07/2008 @ 14:07 [ref: 19596] |
| Lee Le Clercq York (the Old one) UK, WY | Without a doubt, the Avro Vulcan has to be the most beautiful warbird ever built. Her incredible design combined with unbelievable power and manoeverability made for a truly awesome aeroplane. Hopefully XH558, which is currently undergoing restoration for flight in the UK, will grace out skies once more.
Not from Wyoming. The site doesn't seem to want to accept entries from non-North America! OTHER doesn't work... 03/13/2007 @ 05:04 [ref: 15876] |
| Tony Blackman Madeira Beach, FL | Just seen your web site. I was Chief Test Pilot of Avros when the Vulcan Mk2 was being developed. I did all the Skybolt work, autmatic landings, max weight 204,000lb. etc etc. Ih fact I flew XH535 to Edwards in 1961 for radio Skybolt measurements. Picture in my book \'Flight Testing to Win\' (excuse the plug!) www.blackmanbooks.co.uk, amazon or lulu. Flew 105 of the 136 Vulcans built
Am currently in Madeira Beach, Florida until 2nd November. I give historical talks and can be contacted here by email on tony@blackman.eclipse.co.uk 10/07/2006 @ 08:36 [ref: 14396] |

| Jamie Southampton (UK), OTH | If you have ever seen a Vulcan fly you will know what a real aircraft should sound and look like, about 11 years ago I saw one in the air at the Boscome Down air show and I was with my grandad who has sadly passed away who was a member of a vulcan aircrew from 1969-73, and I remember how he was telling me how it was most likely the only bomber of its day that could out manouvre many of the fighters of the time, you always felt safe in it.
I am no aviation enthusiast but the Vulcan bomber is a awe inspiring aircraft. 02/16/2005 @ 12:53 [ref: 9456] |
