45° angle of bank is no problem whatsoever to a Vulcan, I can assure you - it is certainly 'lazy'.

It was, in fact, the normal angle of bank we used for the 'evasive' bombing attack at 350KIAS.....and 300 ft.

A visual run-in-and-break might well include overbanking to about 110° bank in the circuit.

The Vulcan is assuredly not some plodding airliner!
