national air museum Scotland Part 3 ~ Vulcan Bomber

The Avro Vulcan Bomber, the most famous of the British V bombers, is known for its distinctive howl and delta wing. Initially one of the delivery agents of Britain's independent nuclear deterrent during the Cold War, the Vulcan later fulfilled another role, undertaking the longest bombing raid in history for Operation Black Buck in Falklands Campaign of 1982. One of the first operational RAF aircraft with a delta wing, this impressive Cold War jet has never lost its appeal.

Did you know that there is only 7 years between AVRO ceasing production of Lancaster Bombers, 1945 and the first flight of an AVRO Vulcan, 1952? I find it amazing when you look at the differences in shapes, sizes and tech etc.
