Avro B2 Vulcan History: The Avro Vulcan was one of Great Britons Strategic nuclear V bombers introduced in the cold war and was the last to remain operational as a bomber being retired in March 1984, the Vickers Valiant having been retired in 1965 and the Handley Page Victor long since converted intofuel tankers. Design of the Avro Vulcan began in 1947 by a team lead by Roy Chadwick of Lancaster fame to meet Air Ministry specification B.35/46 for a bomber able to deliver Britain's nuclear gravity bombs to strategic targets within the Soviet Union, the Avro Vulcan was a controversial delta wing tailless design incorporating four Bristol Olympus engines which served as the basis for the Olympus 320 developed for the TSR2, and eventually modified to power the Concorde supersonic airliner. The prototype Vulcan first flew in August 1952 and the first production versions the Avro Vulcan B.1 entered RAF service in September 1956. The Vulcan bombers only ever made operational sorties in 1982 by Vulcan B.2 aircraft armed with conventional bombs and Shrike anti-radar missiles during the Falklands conflict when they flew 3890 miles (6,260 km) from Ascension Island to Stanley |
