FIRST BASE READY FOR VULCANS • Waddington Aerodrome Waddington Aerodrome, near Lincoln, a war-time operational station, has been prepared as the first base for delta- winged Vulcan bombers. An R.A.F. operational and handling section is waiting for instructions to take delivery of the aircraft from Avro's Woodford airfield in Cheshire. Mr G. R. Ward, Parliamentary Under-Secretary for Air, said at a dinner on Monday night that the Vulcan would be coming into the R.A.F." in a matter of weeks," and that the Victor was not far behind. A Student of the Air rites:w There is now justification for the belief that the delta' configuration for medium and large size bombing aircraft gives them a basic advantage in production and maintenance. There is a likelihood that the Avro Vulcan four-jet medium bomber may be in the R.A.F. service efore tie Gloster Javelin two-jet ighter. The Vulcan is the world's largest elta-winged aircraft and its engines are Bristol Olympus turbo-jets. The Javelin n the first twin-engined delta aircraft in Britain designed for a specific operational rôle. Both aircraft have undergone minor modifications to their wing plan forms. The Vulcan differs from the Javelin in that it has no horizontal tail surfaces, which, it is claimed, is of advantage in reducing drag and improving control. • At the Farnbordugh show in Septem- ber, Wing-Commander R. Falk, the superintendent of flying of the Avro Company, performed the unprecedented *feat of rolling this large delta-winged machine. Falk has frequently performed the manoeuvre and obtained automatic •recordings during it. It ,has since been claimed that the American B-47 bomber has also been rolled, but in this instance it seems that the aircraft was " barrelled" on a big radius. The Vulcan does a true roll similar to that done by a fighter—an indication of high power of manoeuvre. 7• ot fernuneretion t.y frill14{C111,11, jsr .t JIMA.I. NAIOTOR SERVICE MANAGER, 31. single.

A large blast-shield is swung out into the slipstream from inside the doorway to allow the crew to fall clear of the aircraft when baling out. Both pilots eject after jettisoning a roof panel.
