gunpowder17 Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 My Wife , Son and I were sitting here and we could hear a rumpling noise that got louder and louder , then disappeard. A couple of minutes later it came back so the Wife went to the front door to listen , then i went and straight away i knew what it was. Vulcan XL426 was doing engine runs at Southend Airport. It was incredible , we are 8 miles away as the crow flies , and you could hear it clear as day. I honestly thought it had taken off by mistake , and was going to appear over the trees. So good to hear the Vulcan howl again. Just thought i would share that! 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilg Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I came across a video on YouTube, which was a compilation of Vulcan howls. The howl from the clip at 1m 40s is like a dinosaur's call. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
