Vulcan: End of an Era

This is the story behind Britain's most iconic cold-war bomber, the Avro Vulcan, and the charity that has kept one of the last examples in the air during it's final display season.
 
The distinctive Avro Vulcan is an enduring image of the Cold War era.
 
For many years the RAF's delta-wing jet bomber was the cornerstone of Britain's nuclear deterrent.
 
However, the world's last flying Vulcan bomber has been grounded after engineering backers pulled support over safety fears.
 
Vulcan: End of an Era, features archive footage on the history of the aircraft and interviews with those who have flown it and the people who have kept it flying.
