Vulcan roll

Please don't do this with these aircraft. We do want to keep them around for years... It may be low-G. It may be low stress, but why go looking for a surprise?


Footage purportedly showing the UK's last flying Vulcan bomber carrying out a prohibited barrel roll is being investigated by officials.

The Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) confirmed it was investigating "a recent flight" involving the Vulcan.

The aircraft was captured on camera by an amateur enthusiast flying over Grantham, Lincolnshire on 4 October.

Restrictions on ex-military aircraft were put in place after the Shoreham air crash in August.

Saw a flying Vulcan in England so many years ago.
