Avro Vulcan

The Avro Vulcan’s beautiful lines and distinctive shape make it an icon of cold-war aviation. The Vulcan first flew in 1952, entered RAF service in 1957 and the final Vulcan flight was back in 1993. Thankfully, the last of these milestones has changed - Vulcan XH558 is airborne again thanks to a Heritage Lottery Fund grant and the tireless work of its dedicated fans INCLUDING "Phoenix Simulation Software" who have donated over £15,000 from the sales of this Add On.

Vulcan 558 includes a faithful model from acclaimed developers PSS as it appeared on the Airshow Circuit prior to the massive rebuild,
