EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Avro Vulcan B2 XH534 as it graced the skies above the Farnborough Airshow in 1960. The Avro Vulcan B2, the second of its kind built, was a significant aircraft in the history of British aviation. After initial trials at A&AEE Boscombe Down from 1958 to 1965, the Vulcan became a staple of the Royal Air Force's strategic bomber fleet. The Avro Vulcan B2's presence at the Farnborough Airshow was always a highlight, drawing crowds with its impressive display of power and agility. The sleek, delta-winged design and distinctive canard foreplanes made the Vulcan a unique and awe-inspiring sight in the sky. With its ability to reach supersonic speeds and carry nuclear weapons, the Vulcan represented the cutting edge of aviation technology during the Cold War era. This photograph captures a moment in time when aviation history was being made. The Avro Vulcan B2 XH534, based at A&AEE Boscombe Down for trials until 1965, soared above Farnborough Airshow in 1960, leaving an indelible mark on the annals of aviation history. This image is a testament to the enduring allure of flight and the spirit of innovation that continues to drive the aviation industry forward.
