Avro 730 Mach 3 Nuclear Bomber

Postby Dave71K » Sun Nov 06, 2011 7:19 pm

The Avro 730 was designed to replace the U.K's Vulcan bomber as the primary nuclear bomber however in 1957 the project was scrapped.

It truly would have been an awesome site to see!

Thanks for looking!

It would have been lovely to see one but I'm kind of glad they didn't replace the Vulcan, she still holds a VERY special place in my heart.... and what is left of my hearing after being buzzed by one maxed out at less than 200ft straight over my head 8-)

There are two types of aeroplane, Spitfires and everything else that wishes it was a Spitfire!

I agree the Vulcan is a far prettier aircraft and a British icon.  Sadly I've only ever seen them parked up at airshows.

It's the same here really. I live 2 miles from an international airport so we just get the typical airliners flying over.

If God intended aircraft engines to have horizontally opposed engines, Pratt and Whitney would have made them that way.
