XM594 Avro Vulcan B.2 Royal Air Force
XM594 Avro Vulcan B.2 Royal Air Force

XM594 Avro Vulcan B.2 Royal Air Force. This aircraft was the penultimate Vulcan built as a B.2 Blue Steel and was delivered to the RAF on 9th July 1963. Allocated to 27 Squadron in 1963, was pooled into the Scampton Blue Steel Wing and remained there after being retrofitted to the free-fall role in 1970. Was then transferred to the Waddington Wing in 1972 and allocated to 101 Squadron in 1975 and 44 (Rhodesia) Squadron in 1977. She flew for the last time when arriving at Newark from RAF Waddington on the 7th February 1983, where it is seen here on 18th March 2023.
As a part of the V-force, the Vulcan was the backbone of the United Kingdom’s airborne nuclear deterrent during much of the Cold War. Although the Vulcan was typically armed with nuclear weapons, it was capable of conventional bombing missions, a capability which was used in Operation Black Buck during the Falklands War between Britain and Argentina in 1982.
