Avro Vulcan – another wow of an aircraft!

Avro Vulcan Cold War Bomber XH558 takes to the skies again.

That was almost two years ago and, at the time, it wasn’t sure how the funds would keep coming in to enable this amazing aircraft to remain in the air.

Remarkably, the money was found and this great, historic aircraft flies on.

Here’s a news clip when it took it’s first flight after restoration.

And one taken on the 25th July 2009 in Scotland.

Wikipedia have a nice entry providing background information.
