Hundreds of local residents turned out on Saturday to see the world’s last flying Vulcan bomber during its farewell tour of the country.

The distinctive delta-winged jet, an icon of the Cold War, passed close to Manchester Airport and across Cheshire on Saturday afternoon.

The Avro Vulcan XH558, manufactured at Woodford Aerodrome near Stockport in the 1960s, has been touring UK airshows and displays after a long restoration project, but this year will mark its final flights.
