And that's just the lo-res version.

We're saving the hi-res for our next video or bonus disc offering.

That's a lot of Vulcan to slow down without a 'chute on a very short runway. We checked the brakes as soon as she was parked up, and by then they were surprisingly cool.

Brilliant video from an entirely new perspective :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

Dumb question of the month......
Is the nose wheel steering attached to the rudder - or is it by some sort of in cockpit wheel - and does it then get locked as un-steerable before a take off run??

there is a button on the control column, while it is held in rudder and wheels move together, when its released nose wheel up ,the wheels centre ready to retract... soon be put right :D

Contradictory remark there Nick - if I had been sat in the nav radar seat the STBD wheels would never have got off the ground!!!! ;)
