Avro Vulcan XH558 The Spirit of Great Britain is the only airworthy example of the 134 Avro Vulcan V bombers that were operated by the Royal Air Force from 1953 until 1985. 
(Information from Wikipedia)
Top speed: 1,038 km/h
Manufacturers: Hawker Siddeley, Avro

The only action that XH558 saw was in the Falklands War in 1982 when it flew 8.000 miles to bomb the runway at Port Stanley and planes on the ground during the Argentine invasion of the Falklands. The 16-hour flight on April 30 and May 1, 1982, was the longest non-stop bombing mission in history.
