Avro Vulcan Bomber XH558
Avro Vulcan XH558, The Spirit of Great Britain, thrilling the crowds at the Scottish Airshow in Prestwick in 2014 as she flew just 200 yards off-shore above the River Clyde. Incredibly, she was flown in the Falklands War by the same pilot, Martin Withers DFC, who was at her controls in this photograph. She returned to flight in October 2007, following an award winning restoration programme and as the last airworthy Vulcan she took triumphantly to the air display circuit in 2008 for four more glorious years until her last flight on 25th October 2015.
