Einst ein atomares Machtinstrument, heute britische Luftfahrtgeschichte – die Avro Vulcan. Ausgemuster im jahre 1984, war jedoch die XH558 bis 1993 für Flugvorführungen im Dienst. Dank Just Flight ist es nun möglich diesen Klassiker auch im Simulator zu bewegen. Die Basis Version enthält die Vulcan B Mk.2 und wurde der originalen XM655 nachempfunden. Zu haben ist das Paket für 49,95€ im Just Flight Shop und enthält neben dem oben erwähnten Modell zahlreiche Liveries (komplette Feature list- siehe unten). Zusätzlich hat Just Flight auch gleich ein Expansion Pack veröffentlicht, welches die Versionen K.2 (Tankflugzeug/ Air to Air Refuelling) und MRR (Marine Aufklärungsversion) beinhaltet. Dieses ist ebenfalls für 12,95€ im Just Flight Shop zu bekommen. Die verschienden Versionen kommen mit den jeweiligen Anbauten bzw. Antennenanordnungen daher.
