    Last vulcan bomber, tours the UK with a series of fly past around England. Helped keep the Russians quiet during the cold war.

    The last year of the Vulcan in the air this year, a great plane that did its job well! I remember re seeing it several times at air shows in the 90's and was an awsome sight.
    Thanks for posting as I know a few will be interested on here.

    Hope this one will be kept intact - too many already on the scrapheap...
