Description

Vulcan Farewell – The Story Behind the Print

Vulcan Farewell celebrates one of the most distinctive aircraft of Britain’s Cold War V-Force: the tailless, delta-wing Avro Vulcan.

The Vulcan entered RAF service in the 1950s as part of the United Kingdom’s airborne nuclear deterrent. The later B2 introduced a larger wing, more powerful engines and other improvements, while changes in tactics eventually took the aircraft from high-altitude operations to low-level penetration.

The Vulcan also undertook conventional bombing missions during Operation Black Buck in the 1982 Falklands War, supported by Victor tanker aircraft over the exceptionally long route from Ascension Island.

After RAF service, XH558 became particularly well known through its display flying, while other surviving Vulcans continued to appear in ground-running and taxi demonstrations.
