THE ILLUSTRATED LONDON NEWS NOVEMBER 29, 1952 IN DEFENCE OF THE REALM / NUMBER 10 IN A SERIES VX770 World's First Delta Bomber Avro Vulcan Each year at Farnborough Air Show—which draws Aircraft Experts and Service heads from all parts of the Free World—one aircraft captures the imagination and dominates the flying displays. In 1952 by universal acclaim the Avro Vulcan stood out above all others. Product of Avro's patient years of meticulous research and flight testing on the Delta platform, the Vulcan is the most formidable and modern bomber in existence. It will carry a bigger payload faster, higher, further and more economically than any other aircraft. In one year, the Hawker Siddeley Group have now given the R.A.F. its finest day interceptor, the Hawker Hunter; its chosen night and all weather fighter, the Delta wing Gloster Javelin and a key weapon of retaliation in case of attack, the Avro Vulcan. Here is proof indeed of world leadership in Jettery. Hawker Siddeley Group PIONEER ... AND WORLD LEADER IN AVIATION Group Head Offices: 18 St. James's Square, London, S.W.1 A. V.
