There's no tuba part in the 5th symphony. Apparently, after the fourth came out, British tubists banded together and told Dr. Vaughan Williams to ease up, fer cryin' out loud.
Here's the reference:
Symphony No.5 in D Major
[#J9416] 35'
for orchestra
2 fl, ob, ca, 2 cl, 2 bn, 2 hn, 2 tpt, 3 tbn, timp, str
