The following info is from the Midland Air Museum website:-

“The Vulcan first flew in 1952 and operated from 1957 to 1969 as part of the British nuclear deterrent force, later serving as a conventional bomber. Armed with the Blue Steel nuclear missile and powered by 4 Rolls-Royce Olympus engines, it only saw combat in the conventional bombing role during the 1982 Falklands War. Our example was retired in 1983 and flown into Coventry Airport; she was named City of Coventry after her arrival.”
