EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph from the archives, two Avro Vulcan prototypes, VX770 and VX777, take center stage at the 1953 SBAC (Society of British Aircraft Constructors) show. The Avro Vulcan, a versatile and iconic British jet-powered bomber and reconnaissance aircraft, was a groundbreaking design for its time. With its distinctive delta wing configuration and powerful Rolls-Royce Conway engines, the Vulcan represented the pinnacle of British aviation engineering. The image captures a moment in aviation history as the two prototypes, fresh from testing, make their public debut at the prestigious SBAC show. Accompanied by four Avro 707 transport aircraft, the Vulcan prototypes are met with admiration and awe from the crowd. The Avro 707s, also known as the York C.1, served as escorts for the Vulcan prototypes during the flypast, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event. The 1953 SBAC show was a significant occasion for the aviation industry, with various aircraft manufacturers showcasing their latest designs and innovations. The presence of the Avro Vulcan prototypes, however, undoubtedly stole the show. This photograph is a testament to the ingenuity and pioneering spirit of the Avro Aircraft Company and the wider aviation community during this golden era of aviation. The Avro Vulcan would go on to serve the Royal Air Force with distinction, participating in various military operations and setting numerous records throughout its impressive career. This photograph, taken at the 1953 SBAC show, encapsulates the spirit of innovation, progress, and excitement that defined the post-war aviation industry.
