Avro Vulcan B Mk.1



" The prototype Vulcan, the Avro 698, first flew in 1952 and was a great success.

This radical airframe was designed as a long-range nuclear bomber, but had the manouverability of a fighter. Of the 3 British V-Bombers it is the Vulcan which was most popular with pilots and public alike.In its B2 guise it adapted well to the low-level role and was used in anger during the Falklands campaign.

This aircraft is from No. 230 OCU, RAF Waddington, mid/late 1950's. "

MiGMan's Diary:

" I did have a look at RAF Waddington in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2002 but the scenery was very sparse. At least the British bases get a good showing, unlike the poor Russians!

To see the mighty Vulcan in action check out the James Bond movie Thunderball. What an utterly fantastic looking aircraft - a flying sculpture!
