I saw this bomber at the 1975 El Toro Marine Base Air Show in California. This jet bomber was LOUD!
In the 1965 James Bond film "Thunderball", a UK Avro Vulcan bomber is stolen by SPECTRE, a criminal organization, and used in their international extortion scheme. The Vulcan bomber, carrying two nuclear warheads, is hijacked and sunk to the sea to be used as leverage.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
The Plot:
SPECTRE, led by Emilio Largo, steals two nuclear warheads from a hijacked Vulcan bomber and uses them to blackmail NATO.
The Vulcan's Role:
The stolen Vulcan bomber is a key part of SPECTRE's plan to hold NATO for ransom.
The Action:
Bond, in a race against time, investigates the stolen warheads and ultimately confronts SPECTRE, leading to an underwater battle and the recovery of one of the bombs.
