The Vulcan XH558 took its first flight on 25 May 1960 and was originally built to carry nuclear weapons but was only ever used as a nuclear deterrent.
The bomber retired from service in 1993 and is the only one left of the 134 that were built for the Royal Air Force.
They do write some ****e, don't they.
I vividly recall, as a 14 year old schoolboy, something to do with an 8000 mile bombing mission in the South Atlantic. Nothing at all to do with "Bombs, HC".
In 1993, it may have been the only one left
in the RAF, and it displayed at my squadron's disbandment at BZZ. Most impressive. Certainly not "the only one left" of the fleet though.
