The **Avro Vulcan** was a jet-powered, tailless, delta-wing, high-altitude, strategic bomber, which was operated by the Royal Air Force (RAF) from 1956 until 1984 ². It was designed by A.V. Roe and Company in response to Specification B.35/46 ². The Vulcan was the most technically advanced of the three V bombers produced ². The Vulcan B.2 was the improved version of the Vulcan B.1, featuring more powerful engines, a larger wing, an improved electrical system, and electronic countermeasures ². The Vulcan had no defensive weaponry, initially relying upon high-speed, high-altitude flight to evade interception ². The Vulcan was the backbone of the United Kingdom’s airborne nuclear deterrent during much of the Cold War ². Although the Vulcan was typically armed with nuclear weapons, it could also carry out conventional bombing missions, which it did in Operation Black Buck Falklands War between the United Kingdom and Argentina in 1982 ².
