The prototype Avro Vulcan displays to the Farnborough SBAC show crowd. First flew 30 August 1952, but here re-engined with A.S. Sapphires, whilst retaining the original pure 'straight delta' wing planform. Crashed 14 September 1958 at Syerston, Notts when it broke up in flight during an air display
