I have seen Vulcan scrambles, both live and on film and agree they were very impressive. I came to Victors after they had ceased operating in the bomber role, but no doubt in their day both Valiants and Victors also took part in similar scrambles. Does anyone know if there is any film of one of these on the internet, and if so could they post a link?
The nearest we came to this on tankers was when two aircraft did what was called a snake-climb, taking off IIRC at 30 second intervals. I don't recall there ever being any problem with wake turbulence, but you would need to ask someone like Pontifex or Art Field about this as they were both in the LHS for many of these.
Btw someone should've told Rock Hudson and Rod Taylor not to wear their caps out there near the runway, but maybe they thought they looked more like steely-eyed aviators with the hats on
