Avro Vulcan B.2A XL360 'City of Coventry' at Midland Air Museum; museum volunteer and expert Ivor and I are discussing the relatively cramped conditions in the cockpit! Unusually for a heavy bomber, the Vulcan employed a 'fighter-style' control column, and what's even more remarkable - Sir Roy Chadwick and his team produced thos design only eleven years after the flight of that other great Avro machine, the Lancaster! XL360 herself served on that most famous of former Lancaster squadrons - 617.

Staff & volunteers are now in the final stages of completing the scheduled extended maintenance on our Avro Lancaster. We should see her airborne very soon! | Canadian Warplane Heritage Museum
