The Vulcan Restoration Trust’s Avro Vulcan B.2 XL426 will be performing a twilight taxi run on May 20th to commemorate the 80th anniversary of the famed Dam Busters raid of May 16th/17th, 1943 ...

Because Avro Vulcan lacked flight experience with a delta-wing, it decided to build two experimental aircraft to test the principle – both scaled-down versions of the 698.

The Avro Vulcan prototype first flew in 1952. Unfortunately, one prototype crashed at an air show in 1958 and killed the pilot, but the second prototype tested well.
