Her Last Mission...
Bombing Port Stanley Airport

Vulcan was NOT designed for conventional bombing. It showed in the Falkland war on lacking the accuracy it needed for dropping iron bombs.
It was basically a nuclear bomber designed in the 50's for dropping a nuclear bomb at very high level (50,000 feet), at a time were surface-to-air missle was not very common or accurate.
It was a good bomber considering it was designed starting at 1947 and entered service at 1956. At 1947 US is still using B-29 and B-32 from the WW2.

Vulcan's main strength is the Rolls-Royce Avon engines, extremely reliable and fuel economy.  This leads to a long operational range.  Avon was also used to power Lighting, Comet, Saab and some Sabre fighters.

Vulcan was the first large jet aircraft with delta wings and being used as a test bed for areo dynamic for the Concorde commercial plane, for the designs on how to control a large aircraft with delta wings.
