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.

Could this be the best historic-themed show of the century so far? Jamie Ewan certainly thinks so. 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.
