Vulcan interior
Anybody got any decent photos of the interior of the Vulcan - instrument panel, rear crew positions etc?
I need some decent shots to add to my book project if anybody has an odd snap laying around. Thanks folks!

I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could
Tim, have you thought to take your own? Then you would have bona fide, copyrighted, latest etc.
Did you know about the Dutch lady who has assembled an entire NBS Mk 1? It works too. It is not set out in the right positions but very impressive.

This is the cockpit panel of XL360 at the Midland Air Museum, Coventry. Can get you any and all interiors you want - hi-res available. PM me.
Hope this helps.

Spent A very enjoyable Coronation Day visit to the Midland Aviation Museum and the Vulcan was open. May I suggest a visit if your in the area and check before hand if its open...
Absolutely no problem with the seat in it’s normal high position.
( on my first roller landing - on the round out everything disappeared - my instructor, Al Dow ,croaked - try putting the seat up!)

A great deal more forward vis. than you would imagine, actually. (Apart from the odd time when the so-called anti-flash screens were used!). The main problem was side and rear vis (or lack). If you had been used to a "proper" canopy it was a bit disconcerting!

I imagine forward visibility at low level was key 😳.

Avgas?
What did the pilots do with their other hand? Or is that why the other crew faced the back?
And no use of E/O in the Vulcan, for the low level bombing mission. I was thinking that it was the 70s, that the SAC B-52G fleet getting the Westinghouse AN/AVQ-22 Steerable TV System but guess with the imminent demise and retirement of the Vulcan, no point in putting fancy avionics or targeting systems in.
