 | Couple of Vulcans on one of the lastest stamps too. http://www.royalmail.com/portal/stam...diaId=79200733 Avro Vulcan Prototypes and Avro 707s -56p Part of the RAF’s V bomber force acting as a nuclear deterrent against the Soviet Union during the Cold War, the subsonic Avro Vulcan delta wing bomber was operated by the RAF from 1953 until 1984. In this time it was also used as a conventional bomber during the Falklands conflict. Only one example of this type of aircraft remains in flying condition. The Avro 707 was an experimental aircraft built to test the delta wing concept which was later incorporated into the Vulcan. The stamp features a shot of both aircrafts taken at Farnborough in 1953.  |
