| Rolling the big ones
In the 50s Roly Falk rolled the Avro Vulcan at the Fboro airshow. Here is a video to prove he really did this.
I wonder what the biggest plane to be fully rolled was/is? I saw the vid of the 707 but that was a barrel roll. How about a C130 or B52? No, surely not. | |

| Mind-boggling that he would even think of doing it in public. Shows what a great plane design it was. One of my faves BTW. | |

Country: | That was one hell of a roll! I wonder how much altitude he lost in that manuever.

| Not enough to make recovery difficult it would seem.
"Several spectacular Farnborough appearances followed, including a full roll at the 1955 show (try that in a B-52!). Falk had actually rolled the Vulcan on returning to Avro's Woodford base after a previous Farnborough appearance - that time he did it so low and so noisily that he smashed all the skylight windows in the assembly building!"

| Canberra roll
Another great British aircraft shows how it's done. Another bomber, this time we see the Martin B57 barrel rolling at low altitude. | |

Country: | Good video Roy, although not as impressive as watching the Vulcan roll it is still impressive. It managed to loose an awful lot of height as well, not something you want to attempt at low level.
