Avro Vulcan - The Delta Deterrent

Avro Vulcan - The Delta Deterrent

 

Designed to drop a nuclear payload deep within Russia,
this delta-winged aircraft together with the Victor and Valiant made up the UK V-Force.
 

Used by the RAF between 1956 - 1984

the Vulcan held the record for the longest bombing mission in history when the RAF,

 flying from Ascension Island, bombed the strategically important

Argentinian-captured runway at Port Stanley on the Falkland Islands.

 

This talk explores all aspects of the aircraft and gives an insight into

my work to help restore XH558 to flight.

Do you know why did each Vulcan carried a RAT?
