Thing about the Vulcan, if it executed a high angle climb at low airspeed it would sit there at full chat and not going up very fast.
Wensleydale mentioned the inside of the Shack. The inside of the Nimrod demonstrating its Cat A performance was something else.
Two engines, 200 feet, one engine throttled back and a climb initiated to 1000 feet. 8 minutes at full chat on just one was f***ing noisy.
