Prepare for take-off on an unforgettable journey through aviation history with Squadron Leader Jim Walls former Royal Air Force Air Electronics Officer as he takes us inside one of Britain’s most iconic aircraft: the Avro Vulcan Bomber.
In this fascinating live online presentation, Jim brings to life the story of the Vulcan from its bold beginnings and Cold War service to its legendary status among aviation enthusiasts today. With its dramatic delta wings and fighter-like agility, the Vulcan became as unmistakable a symbol of British air power as the Spitfire or the Lancaster.
The Vulcan’s primary nuclear strike role and its lesser-known missions proving it was far more than just a bomber. The aircraft’s cutting-edge self-defence systems and the extraordinary nuclear payloads it once carried. A rare, insider’s look at life on board each crew member’s position and duties to the intense scramble procedures and “disperse to survive” tactics of the Cold War.
First-hand accounts of training flights across the UK and abroad, including bombing competitions and the Vulcan’s participation in Exercise Red Flag in Nevada. The poignant final “goodwill” flight, marking the end of an extraordinary era in British aviation. As a special bonus, Boundless attendees will have the chance to win one of five signed copies of Jim’s acclaimed book, Flying Forwards Facing Backward.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear the inside story of a true aviation icon told by someone who was there.
