Avro Vulcan bomber landing at Farnborough International Airshow 2008, England, United Kingdom.
The Avro Vulcan is a delta wing subsonic bomber that was operated by the Royal Air Force from 1953 until 1984. The Vulcan was part of the RAF's V bomber force, which fulfilled the role of nuclear deterrence against the Soviet Union during the Cold War. It was also used in a conventional bombing role during the Falklands conflict with Argentina. This example, XH558 was recently restored for use in display flights and commemoration of the jets' role in the Falklands Conflict. Farnborough International Airshow 2008, England, United Kingdom.
