P75980 - Avro Vulcan B2 XM569 Cockpit section, Jet Age Museum - Aircraft

The Avro Vulcan was a British jet bomber designed primarily to carry nuclear weapons, although they could be configured to carry conventional ones as well. They had a distinctive delta-wing configuration and the design gave outstanding performance.

As I understand it, XM569 was originally preserved intact, but subsequent issues in preservation resulted in the main fuselage section being scrapped.  The cockpit section survived though, and the museum offers tours inside it; after taking the tour, I came away with an increased respect for what the aircrews had to tolerate.
