Handley Page Victor/ Avro Vulcan and cockpit view The Cosford Victor remains in its tanker configuration and arrived in Shropshire after the end of its RAF service in November 1993. But for safety reasons, it wasn't allowed to make its final flight to Cosford, and had to use the longer runway at Shawbury instead. It was then dismantled, moved by6 road, and re-assembled at Cosford. Avro Vulcan Another member of the British V-bomber team of the Cold War, the Vulcan, was a truly remarkable aircraft. Its delta wing made it revolutionary and extraordinarily manouvrable for an aircraft of its size. First delivered in the mid-1950s, it was the only one of the V bombers to remain in frontline service for its 30 year life. The V-bombers were originally painted white to protect them from the blast of nuclear bombs, but when the V-bombers became secondary to missiles in the 1960s the Vulcan was given a new role as a tactical low-level bomber. With its new role came the green/grey camoflage in which the Cosford Vulcan is painted. |
