Airfix 12011 Avro Vulcan B2 1:72 -

Series 12 aircraft

As the Avro Vulcan entered squadron service with No.83 Squadron at RAF Waddington in July 1957, Britain now possessed the fastest nuclear capable bomber in the world.  It seems strange to describe an aircraft which possessed such potential for untold destruction as Britain's most effective peace keeping asset.  However, that is what the Vulcan turned out to be.  Throughout the Cold War, the Warsaw Pact nations were in no doubt that if they launched an attack against a NATO member country, the consequences of a retaliatory strike would be catastrophic.
