Avro Vulcan

The Avro Vulcan, sometimes referred to as the Hawker Siddeley Vulcan, is a delta wing subsonic jet strategic bomber that was operated by the Royal Air Force from 1953 until 1984. It was developed in response to a specification released by the Air Ministry, at the time both jet engines and delta wings were considered cutting edge and relatively unexplored, thus the small-scale Avro 707 was produced to test the principles of the design.
