Default XH558 - Last flight of a Vulcan Bomber

I just came across a show on NetFlicks this evening called

Guy Martin: The Last Flight of the Vulcan Bomber

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5256700/

I knew very little of the history or background of this British bomber except for its use in a long range bombing raid conducted during the 'Falkland's War'.

What a beautiful flying machine! Such sweet aerodynamic lines and a ramp presence unmatched. I would love to have seen a formation of between a Vulcan and a Hawker Hunter!

In any case - just thought I'd share that there is this wonderfully produced documentary on a staple of the Cold War era.
