Avro Vulcan in flight
The last remaining airworthy Avro Vulcan XH558 in one of her final flights before being grounded later this year. Sadly it will not be possible to see this iconic aeroplane performing at air displays from 2016, owing to withdrawal of support by three of the aerospace companies currently contracted to provide spares and specialist service. Such a pity after the 'Vulcan to the Sky' voluntary project raised sufficient funds to return the aircraft to airworthiness and sustain it well beyond next year. I was lucky enough to see this air display at Church Fenton a few weeks ago.
