Description
Avro Vulcan B2
Somewhere over the Barents sea. Northern Arctic waters between Norway and the Soviet Russian coastline. Winter 1961.
A lone 44 Sqn. Avro Vulcan B2 from RAF Waddington, Lincolnshire makes an ultra low, Below-Radar simulated “Blue Danube” or “Yellow Sun” nuclear weapon practice attack approach towards her designated target on the Soviet mainland. Once in proximity of their target, the crew will climb to release altitude of 10,000 to 15,000 feet and launch the weapon. By 1964 all RAF V-Force bombers were given Medium Sea Grey/Dark Green over White Grey camouflaged finishes, (later, overall grey/green wrapover patterns) as low level flying attack profiles became the standard for strategic target approach.
All orders are supplied with the back story behind the painting.
