Bet this made a few babies cry.....

It would appear that health and safety rules aren't quite as stringent in some parts of the Eastern Bloc.

I particulary liked the first clip and those at 2.36 and 4.42.

Vulcan has of course gone with Concord to the great runway in the sky now.. We was at Lincoln showground on the day of its last flight, and it made two passes for all the folk attending the show

Low flying Spitfire.....

....and check out the still at the end of the clip.

I was near Wilmslow on it's last flight. Ideally placed to see the flypast at Woodford and then the flypast at Ringway.

I got it on film.. Almost directly over head.. and it seemed so slow and low....... Brilliant

There's a reason why the Vulcan is the only heavy bomber to have a joystick rather than a yoke. If you ask any aircrew who have flown one they'll tell you that it handles more like a big, heavy fighter than a bomber.

Slightly pointless fact - At high altitude Vulcans could (and did) out turn F15's...! (the big delta wing makes a massive difference in thin air).

A Mk V if I'm not mistaken!!

A Mk V if I'm not mistaken!!

Close....a MkIXb.

From the front, the 4 bladed prop is the only giveaway . Ray Hannah's own Spitfire...MH434.

Always good to see skillful flying, but don't forget about the groundcrew....

aka how to marshal aircraft RAF stylee (best with sound...!).

 

[andyBeaker]

And frommthe pilot's perspective........ calmness personified!!

Wouldn't mind a Typhoon in the garage.

 

[Cougar377]

Doing the Mach Loop in style.....

I am not sure who is cooler in this - the driver looking so relaxed while saying 'but I am going slow, I'm only doing 250kmh' or his lady - she only really panics about ten times going round The Nurburgring and even manages quite a few smiles in between.

And an ex-F1 driver showing how to drive a roadmcar on the track.

Bit of a slow starter this one, pick it up at around 1:40.

Despite Mrs Patrese's protests I think she quite enjoyed it.

I also like that the Italian for 'throwing up' is 'vomito'

What a SCREECHER.....!!!
