Veteran aircraft of past and present RAF combat missions paid tribute to the heroes of Bomber Command. Two Tornado GR and the Avro Vulcan 'The Spirit of Great Britain' fly over Lincolnshire in order to send off the Vulcan bomber before her retirement. Britain’s only flying Vulcan, which this year completes its final flying season, was the first B2 bomber delivered into RAF service on 1 July 1960 and at 55 years old is the last and oldest of its type anywhere in the world. Despite 24 years service in the RAF the Vulcan was only once used in anger – against Port Stanley in the Falklands in the famous ‘Operation Black Buck’ mission to deny the Argentines use of the airfield.
