Item #4 - Click to view individual item DHM2544. Heyday by Steve Gibbs. The retirement of the mighty Vulcan from the Royal Air Force with all its attendant publicity tends to make us forget the heady days when even the smaller At Home or Station Air Day could rely on the Vulcan as one of its star attractions. In this picture artist Steve Gibbs has tried to create something of that simple carnival atmosphere of the provincial show by showing the scene at an Open Day at RAF Swinderby in Lincolnshire during the early 1980s. Avro Vulcan B2 XM575 does a dramatic touch-and-go in front of the distinctive hangers of the well-known former airfield. As the pilot applies full power, the smoke from the Olympus engines begins to build as the magnificent delta thunders into the air to demonstrate its astounding agility to a totally enthralled crowd of onlookers. Signed limited edition of 1000 prints. Overall size 20 inches x 16 inches (51cm x 41cm) Image size 16 inches x 11 inches (41cm x 28cm)
