Royal Air Force - Avro Vulcan K. 2 XH561
Royal Air Force - Avro Vulcan K.2 XH561 of No.50 Squadron at RAF Wildenrath for an air display. After the Falklands conflict, the Victor K.2 fleet was fast approaching their fatigue limits, due to the intensive operations supporting the Vulcans and other aircraft. Some of the remaining Vulcans with sufficient flying hours remaining were converted to tankers by fitting Mk.17 hose-drogue refuelling packs in the ECM bays at the tail. Date: 1983
