FlyPast  |  September 2024
VULCAN POWER
The September 2024 issue of FlyPast features a very special aeroplane on its cover – the Avro Heritage Museum’s white-painted Vulcan B.2 XM603. This edition has a strong V-Force theme, with articles exploring what it was like to fly on a practise Vulcan bombing mission and to fly on a Victor air-to-air refuelling sortie. We also recall the rise and fall of Avro, 100 years after its Woodford factory opened.

We also share some rarely seen images of English Electric’s P.1A and reveal the winner of the hotly contested FlyPast Painting Of The Year Award, in co-operation with GaVA.
