📽️ The delta-winged Avro Vulcan:
It was operated by the Royal Air Force between 1956 and 1984 and was the backbone of the United Kingdom’s airborne nuclear deterrent during much of the Cold War.
Although no Vulcan is now in flying condition, we meet the team of volunteers keeping one Avro Vulcan alive – the XM655 Maintenance & Preservation Society.

That's a must to visit when I'm next over that way. Keep up the good work.
I miss seeing the Vulcan fly. I’m lucky enough to volunteer at Newark Air Museum and have had a good time with our Vulcan
I was lucky enough to see three active-duty Vulcan Bombers perform here in the United States, just outside Chicago, Il. (NAS Glenview) in the late '70's to early 80's.
I witnessed XL-390's last flight in August 1978. XL-443 came next — two years later in 1980; the next year I was ultra lucky when XM-575 came I was able to secure an inside / outside guided tour, as well with the Nimrod Maritime Reconnaissance aircraft that came with.
I was lucky enough to catch this iconic bird flying over Barton Aerodrome on its farewell cross-country flight back in 2015.
Simply magnificent. Keep up the good work, all.
Absolutely the best in the world 🌎
BRILLIANT vulcans for ever 👏 ❤❤❤
BLACK BUCK 1, Falklands war

The sound of freedom ❤
Great video! Thoroughly enjoyed!!
My only experience with a Vulcan aircraft ( none flying of course) was as an Aircraft Apprentice at RAF Halton in the early 1960's. The dreaded " Aircraft Flying Controls" 3 week phase on the Vulcan Boulton Paul Flying Controls Units.
We had to learn the operation and sequencing of these BP control units inside out and upside down leading to an exam at the end of the 3 week phase. They were complicated even with the cut-away units for instruction! Whoever it was who designed these BP flying control units should have sought medical help.
Anyway on a brighter note. Move forward to September 2023 and I am proud to say that it was my Grandson who was on the private production and filming team for this YouTube video you have just watched. Who would have thought that was going to happen 61 years ago.
