Commemorating the 50th anniversary of the first flight (1952) of the
Avro Vulcan Bomber
Moments after take off, the mighty Avro Vulcan XH558 bomber begins her majestic climb through storm clouds, out over the British countryside towards the North Sea.
A masterpiece of British engineering 'excellence', she acted as a nuclear deterrent throughout the Cold War until the arrival of Polaris. Prior to her retirement in 1993 she had thrilled many in air displays nationwide.
Built as a bomber and some 106 feet in length with a wingspan of 111 feet she had no means of defending herself from attack. With a crew of 5, the Avro Vulcan bomber had a top speed of 625 mph and excelled at a height of 61,000 feet, as well as having a remarkable capacity for low level flight to avoid enemy radar detection.
