My Dad flew in the Vulcan, then later worked as an engineer at AVRO, making parts for the Vulcan.



Are you sure you're not getting confused with the Tiger Moth?

No Tony, it was the Vulcan. But Dad did also fly Tiger Moths, which were used extensively as trainer aircraft. You will have to go back to the Sopwith Camel to maintain your usual level of attack.
