The method and results of high speed streak photography of surface flashover in vacuum are presented. It is shown that the bright phase of the flashover arc bridges a 12.5 mm gap in 0.15 ns. The streak records indicate that the flashover arc is preceded by an intense electron burst from the cathode-insulator junction.
