Re: Just remember...
it's not strong enough for the turbulence encountered in sustained low level operations
The Vulcan was pretty good at low-level ops; it was the Victor that couldn't handle the stress. So they were converted into tankers.
There was concern about stress-cracking in the wings, so a modification was developed to patch the wing root after a certain number of flying hours. Only one Vulcan was ever actually patched - XH558, and that just a couple of years ago.
Vulcans were obsolete within 3 years of their introduction
Well, I spent some time with Martin Withers last year, and he doesn't agree with you.
