EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the awe-inspiring sight of Vulcan 20914_002, the last flying Vulcan bomber, gracefully taking off from RAF Waddington in Lincolnshire. The photograph was skillfully taken from an aerial perspective in July 2009 by renowned photographer Dave MacLeod. The Vulcan bomber holds a significant place in aviation history as it was designed by Avro and later manufactured by Hawker Siddeley. Serving the Royal Air Force (RAF) for nearly three decades, from 1956 until its retirement in 1984, this iconic aircraft symbolizes the technological advancements and military prowess of its time. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where these mighty machines ruled the skies. The sheer power emanating from the Vulcan is palpable as it defies gravity and embarks on yet another mission. Its sleek design and formidable presence remind us of a time when air superiority played a vital role in global conflicts. Thanks to Dave MacLeod's expert lensmanship, we are granted a rare glimpse into this historical moment. His ability to capture both the grandeur of the aircraft and its surroundings showcases his talent as a photographer. This remarkable print serves not only as a visual testament to our rich aviation heritage but also pays homage to those who served bravely aboard these magnificent warbirds. It stands as a reminder that even though retired from active duty, their legacy continues to soar high above us all.
