This photograph captures Avro Vulcan XH558 in flight over RAF Mildenhall during the 1998 airshow season, taken by aviation photographer Stuart H. Bourne. The image presents a dramatic top-side three-quarter view of the aircraft banking left against a clear blue sky, revealing its distinctive delta wing and RAF camouflage pattern with roundel markings.

XH558 was the final airworthy Vulcan bomber, restored and operated by the Vulcan to the Sky Trust until its retirement from flight in 2015. This appearance at Mildenhall marked one of its early public displays following restoration, offering enthusiasts a rare glimpse of the aircraft’s Cold War legacy and post-service preservation.

The Vulcan B.2 was a cornerstone of Britain’s strategic deterrent during the Cold War, and XH558—known as “The Spirit of Great Britain”—remains a symbol of engineering excellence and aviation heritage. The Trust’s mission is to preserve and promote the legacy of this iconic aircraft, inspiring future generations through education and public engagement.

This image is ideal for collectors seeking historically significant prints with verified provenance and archival accuracy. It is part of our enthusiast-grade catalog curated for clarity, authenticity, and technical distinction.
