A truly stunning display by one of my favourite aircraft! The Vulcan is quite honestly a wonder to see flying.. Hope you enjoy!

MORE INFO:
Aircraft: Avro Vulcan B2 XH558 G-VLCN
Location: Ayr Low Green
Camera: Panasonic HC-VX870

Filmed on the 5/9/15

This is sadly the last flying Vulcan and is soon to be retired.. XH558's first flight was back in May 1960. Sadly this aircraft will only fly for a couple more months.
During the display the Vulcan ran into an issue with its Nose gear. It was only extending to about 60/70% if its full swing. The Aircraft circled over EGPK (Prestwick Airport) for a good half an hour before solving the issue and landing. Shown in the video from around 1:39 . Hopefully this fault doesn't affect its final few shows before it is due to retire.

Big thanks to Dan for his hospitality over the weekend!
