Vulcan Mk1 Weapon Bay and Bomb Separations.
Clearances for weapon releases from the Mk1 Vulcan (XA892 mostly) involved dropping enormous numbers of duds into Lyme Bay. All sorts of combinations of test releases preceded service approvals.
The airflows around the Vulcan weapons bay seemed to be particularly benign although some close jostling of bombs was occasionally observed.
Dropped the first big blunt 10,000 pounder at 0.98 IMN and watched it on closed circuit TV disappear with a slight pitching oscillation. The release was hardly perceptible.
Did we at Boscombe Down do a satisfactory job or were there any occurrences of damage to a Vulcan or cases of dangerous live bomb jostling ?
Some releases from other platforms can be terrifying and close to terminal.
