Vulcan to fly in jubilee ‘salute’
The only remaining airworthy Vulcan bomber is to take to the skies during 2012 for a Diamond Jubilee tour in honour of the Queen, it has been announced.
The much-loved British delta-winged aircraft will fly at air shows and displays across the UK as “A Salute to Her Majesty”.
The sight of Vulcan XH558 – named the Spirit of Great Britain – roaring overhead will be one of the more dramatic events planned to mark the anniversary.
