Notes:

The Vulcan drew unusually large crowds to the Throckmorton Air Show to see its first display of its last display season. The Technical Authorities have reluctantly withdrawn further airworthiness authority for two reasons: the airframe has exceeded 10% more hours than any other Vulcan, and declining numbers of retired technical staff remain able to contribute to keeping the aeroplane airborne.
