Aviation Art Collecton - Vulcan

Corporate Prelude by Philip West. The Falklands conflict led to the Vulcan being used for the first time in anger in 25 years of RAF service; 44, 50 and 101 Sqdn. aircraft were involved in Operation Corporate with five crews selected, two from 50 Sqdn., one each from 44 Sqdn. and 101 Sqdn., plus others from the disbanded 9 Sqdn. This beautiful painting portrays the mighty XM607 at altitude during the work up period prior to active operations. During the Falklands War XM607, piloted by Martin Withers, flew there and back from Ascension Island non-stop, covering a staggering 7,500 miles; the flight lasted 15 hours 45 minutes - at the time, the longest combat flight in history. The Vulcan was refuelled by Victor tankers five times on the outward journey and once on the return journey.

Heyday by Steve Gibbs. The retirement of the mighty Vulcan from the Royal Air Force with all its attendant publicity tends to make us forget the heady days when even the smaller At Home or Station Air Day could rely on the Vulcan as one of its star attractions. In this picture artist Steve Gibbs has tried to create something of that simple carnival atmosphere of the provincial show by showing the scene at an Open Day at RAF Swinderby in Lincolnshire during the early 1980s. Avro Vulcan B2 XM575 does a dramatic touch-and-go in front of the distinctive hangers of the well-known former airfield. As the pilot applies full power, the smoke from the Olympus engines begins to build as the magnificent delta thunders into the air to demonstrate its astounding agility to a totally enthralled crowd of onlookers.

The Persuaders by Philip West. Much loved by its crews, the mighty delta winged Avro Vulcan was designed to perform Britains nuclear deterrent bomber role during the Cold War. It carried out this responsibility for more than a decade. The aircraft then served as a low-level nuclear strike and maritime radar reconnaissance platform, before finally being called to war action in the Falklands conflict where it provided long-range bombing capabilities, attacking surface targets and Stanley Airport.
