EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic Avro Vulcan B2 XH558 of No 27 Squadron RAF Scampton conducting a surveillance check on a North Sea oil rig in February 1975. The Avro Vulcan, a British long-range, variable geometry wing, strategic bomber, was a formidable presence in the skies during the Cold War era. The Vulcan's versatility enabled it to be used for various roles, including maritime patrol and reconnaissance. In this image, the Vulcan's distinctive delta wing and powerful engines create an impressive sight as it hovers above the North Sea, its shadow stretching out over the water. The rig, with its towering structures and intricate network of pipes, stands defiant against the vast expanse of the sea. The Vulcan's crew, diligently scanning the rig for any signs of unusual activity, are a testament to the aircraft's importance in safeguarding national security during this period. Fast forward to 2007, and the Avro Vulcan B2 XH558, having been restored to airworthiness by the Vulcan to the Sky Trust, once again took to the skies, allowing a new generation to marvel at its engineering prowess and historical significance. This photograph serves as a reminder of the Avro Vulcan's rich history and its role in shaping aviation and military history.
