RAF Vulcan

The RAF Vulcan

Hi, all. This is my fifth post today. I might just be getting obsessive :)
OK this article is a short one about the RAF Vulcan bomber. More pictures are further down the page!
Part One: Britian's Bombers
In 1946 the RAF wanted a bomber that could carry a nuclar wepon quite a far way. Hardly Page and Arvo had two advanced planes. Arvo's was the Vulcan and Hardly Page's was the Victor. These became two of the three V-Bombers which where Britian's nuclar delevery system from 1955 to 1969, when it was swapped over to the Navy's Polarais submarines. When the Soviet defences where getting better the Vulcan went from high-level penatration to low-level penetration. The Vulcan flew low until it got close to it's target and then it rose to 12,000 ft or 3,657.6 meters. The Vulcan B.2 had a diffenent paint scheme, a ECM suite in it's enlarged tailcone and new Olympus engines.
Part Two: Vulcan Weaponry
There are four weapons the Vulcan uses, Here they are:

1. "Yellow Sun" Hydrigon bomb
2. "Blue Daube" Atomic bomb
3. "Blue Steel" Stand off attack missile, 100 mile range/163 kilometers
4. Conventinal 1000 pound bomb
