The Avro Vulcan, the world's first 4-jet delta bomber has entered the Royal Air Force: Behind the recent Air Ministry announcement lies a brilliant chapter of aeronautical progress that marks the beginning of a new era in Britain's air power.With its near sonic speed, its great range and altitudeand its large carrying capacity, the Vulcan, powered byfour Bristol Olympus turbo-jets, is a formidable aircraft.

Add to this its fighter-like manceuvrability, exceptional safetyand pleasant handling characteristics and you have the reasons why the Vulcan is the most effective bomber in service today.But that is not all. The Vulcan has a great development potential. It has been engineered to allow for new operational requirements which can be met without major alteration to the basic design. In the tough testing ground of the R.A.F., on routine exercises and on long-range training flights, the Vulcan has already shown its paces.

Like its illustrious predecessors from the Avro stable - the Lincoln, the Lancaster, the Anson, the 504 and many others -the Vulcan is destined to become one of the world's really great aircraft.
