Additional Notes: The Vulcan was part of the RAF’s V bomber force, which fulfilled the role of nuclear deterrence against the Soviet Union during the Cold War.

One example, XH558, was recently restored for use in display flights and commemoration of the employment of the aircraft in the Falklands conflict.
