Vulcan landing as evidenced by extended air brakes.

After retirement by RAF, one example, B.2 XH558 was restored for display flights and air shows, whilst two other B.2s, XL426 and XM655, kept in taxiable condition for ground runs and demos. XH558 flew last time in Oct 2015

Aerial view of a Vulcan B.2 in late RAF markings on static display at RAF Mildenhall, 1984. As can be seen, the large wing area enabled the aircraft to turn well, particularly at height.
