Vulcan

XH558 is the only remaining flying Avro Vulcan bomber, and this year looks as though it will be its last year of flying as the engines are coming to the end of their life with no chance of replacement. Today we had a VIP tour of the plane at its home at Doncaster Airport; a great day out. We had a volunteer guide to ourselves who was very knowledgeable, and had plenty of time to see the plane, take photographs and chat with other volunteers and engineers working on the plane. Not an expensive trip but if you have any interest in the plane, it is certainly a worthwhile one.

It was difficult to get far enough away from the plane to get a complete shot so this is a view from underneath the nose looking back towards the bomb bay.
