Bond, James Bond is not happy. Seriously, glad the bird will be OK.

Yes, as a 12 year old, I absolutely fell in love with the Vulcan as I watched Thunderbolt (about a dozen times)!

You mean Thunderball?

I guess a plowed field works as well as EMAS, a good thing!

I was stationed at RAF Mildenhall in the mid-70's and got to see the occasional Vulcan shoot approaches once in a while. It always looked a little strange but cool.

Was on a Vulcan base... they were amazing...

Overshoots runway isn't accurate when he was only taxiing, a bit fast maybe but he wasn't landing so as to overshoot it. Slides off the end of runway more appropriately. Winding up the engines to that extent is a prelude to actually getting that beautiful bird in the air. Congrats to all!

I was expecting a much worse outcome based on the title... Glad the aircraft will be able to fly another day

Since it isn't airworthy now - and was not - we can hope that it might fly again someday.

It will not, nor will other - airworthy - Vulcans as the manufacturer withdrew support.

no it won't and never will.

"The incident was reportedly caused by a malfunction, according to the caretakers of the retired Royal Air Force (RAF) plane". Caused by a malfunction? No ()*() Batman. I thought they may have done it just to show off. Yes I know additional info is provided later in the article.

I thought they were grounded for museums. I'm glad got another one up and flying. If you get a chance to see one during a flight display. It's amazing.

It was only doing a taxi test to keep the engines in working order, it's not airworthy.
xtoler
LOL, I should have known. I was beginning to wonder who had an infinite amount of money to get one flying again.
