Best you tube video of 558

[Scubaman]

As the title says what is your favourite video on you tube of 558(after restoration) here are mine.



no reason needed




1st time back at waddington and i was there




Reminds me of standing on the A15 at waddington in her RAF days coming in to land (as a display aircraft I am not that old)

[Sploosher]

I like ALL of those........................

[Hihonyr8811]

I'm totally biased




I've seen so many others that I couldn't possibly choose one

This one's ok I guess

[Dan4th]

This is, has been and maybe always will
be my favo(u)rite.........



I see this in my SLEEP!

[Checkflaps]

Yep, agree with you there Danth . I reckon that is probably my fave too of the first flight vids. Sorry CG, yours is good - but you were a smidge further away.

Later vids......Hmmm



Mainly because we were there (right with ya Cluny) - and what a day it was. Particularly after the night before at the Travelodge in Grantham. How late was it again?

I also like this.............



a little self indulgent I know. But it was a day that will live with both CG and I all our lives, and this was something to lighten the day. We only found out about it less than an hour before she was due to fly through, so it was a bit of a rush to get there.

Final one.........WOW


Also really like the 'parting of the sheep' at Yeovilton. Nice howl.

Roll on 2010 display season.

[Pujgnie]

This one has the lot IMO..

[Pathfinder]

I don't usually like music played over videos of the display, it usually adds nothing and often imposes on the performance of XH558's 'howl'. However, that last video Vulcan Bomber Tribute, is the exception that proves me wrong

[Cluny]

First of all to answer CF , 3am and up again at 6am
My prefered self indulgent vid from last year [eventhough it does have a YT induced fault in it ] , longest howl I recorded and one hell of a drive to beat her to Brize


But this is outright fav of THAT takeoff

[Sploosher]

love that Fairford takeoff, and the super wingover as well...........................

[Jigsaw]

Love 'em all, especially the 1st flight. The RIAT one is superb though

[Crew chief]

Great vids thanks for posting.

[MrTim]

Not seen that Filton one before CF - bl**dy brilliant, especially the second dirty pass

I'll remember this day forever too:-

[Hihonyr8811]

Agree with you there Tim, brilliant two days.

The arrival was probably more memorable as we were there about 7 hours

Here's mine from the Friday.



That was the first takeoff I had (ever) seen. As I'm sure you can tell .

[Dan4th]

The thing that amazes ME is that
none of us gets TIRED of ANY of
this stuff!

Ain't she just the Greatest Aircraft
that ever FLEW????????????????

And I'm a F****n' MURKIN, fer God's Sake!

[Mayfly]

Wait til you see her in the flesh Dan4th!!!!!!!

[Dan4th]

I was actually hoping to see her in the
Aluminum/Aluminium, if you please......

[Sploosher]

just wait until you have seen the greatest piece of british aviation history..............


she is a beauty...........

[Checkflaps]

just wait until you have seen the greatest piece of british aviation history..............


she is a beauty...........

What? Concorde..................

Now then, where's my coat?

[Stigish]

I like this one, mainly for the "Vulcan Eclipse" at 4:30.

Not the best, but unique.......

[Spitfire]

Yes my number one - every time - first take off - a good howl and you couldn't have wanted a better position ...

This is, has been and maybe always will
be my favo(u)rite.........



I see this in my SLEEP!

D.

And I agree this is astounding ....a good howl and another brilliant position for the full effect... and with just a tiny bit more pressure on the stick that would have been a Rolly Falk moment - she's nearly on her back

But this is outright fav of THAT takeoff
