Oh dear, I had the misfortune to thumb-through the new Avro Vulcan - A History by Peter Dancey (Tempus Publishing) yesterday.

Some absolute gems:-

...both the Blue Streak ballistic missile and the Blue Steel stand-off missile came to be seen as the Vulcan's main armament

or how about

...these airframes were the re-designated as B2A

then again we could try

...27 Squadron at RAF Waddington from November 1973 until March 1982


maybe the best one I've found so far however, must be

... Vulcan B.2 BB serial XM607 (seems this designation refers to Black Buck aircraft)

I stopped reading after this
