Oh, yes, this is THE Vulcan. It did get airborne in the end, and despite continued technical & financial difficulties, they've kept it up there. (Not constantly, you understand!)

It is the only one flying - in fact, it was the first Mark 2 Vulcan flying (erm, 1959?); the last one flying before it was withdrawn from service (1992); and the first, and so far only, one back (2007).
