The Vulcan Effect [DVD] [2009]

Something quite extraordinary happened to the UK airshow circuit in 2009; jammed telephone lines, inundated web sites, capacity crowds, eyes skyward straining for a first glimpse of...., lumps in the throat, tears of joy, stunned silences as the subject of all this thunders onto the scene and four Bristol Siddley Olympus engines developing 60,000 lbs of thrust tear the sky apart.

Avro Vulcan XH558
is flying again!

PlanesTV cameras followed Vulcan to 20 locations in 2009 including continental Europe. Much of this was in clear and often spectacular weather, ideal for our High-definition powerful-lens cameras.

Exclusive access gets you behind the scenes with the crew, engineers and volunteers and our three in-cockpit cameras take you onboard for a unique view of the season finale at Southport.

For some it is pride in a British achievement, for others it’s a reminder of a critical time in our defence against nuclear destruction but for everyone it’s the sight, the sound and the feeling of all that power.

For the tens of thousands of ordinary people who dug deep into their pockets to see her fly it is a reward, a relief and a delight that millions will now also experience “The Vulcan Effect”.
