Pitot tube on the nose of a Vulcan Bomber, XH558


The last airworthy Vulcan Bomber, XH558, at RAF Waddington Airshow 2013. The Avro Vulcan B2 bearing the XH558 marking was the first Vulcan B2 delivered to the Royal Air Force in 1960 and is now the only remaining airworthy Vulcan. XH558 provided 33 years of service from 1960, with its last seven years as a display aircraft used at airshows. The aircraft is now maintained by a charity, Vulcan to the Sky, based at Doncaster Robin Hood Airport.
