Default Anyone familiar with flying a delta wing?

Hi

In article ,
Bertie the wrote:

I have a friend who used to fly the Avro Vulcan. He told me the airplane
would fly to very low speeds indeed and could turn in extrmely small
radii because of it's ability to fly so slowly. Roll rate was almost
fighter like and the airplane was apparently a joy to fly in every way.
They're pretty impressive to watch ( and hear) fly..


And one has just been restored to flight recently (apologies if you already
knew this).

Andy
