| The Avro 707 was built as a scaled-down Avro 698 (later to become the Vulcan). It was a simple aircraft, & was built exclusively to test the new-technology delta wing of the Vulcan. The aircraft were produced cheaply & quickly, six prototypes eventually being built. Only the first three provided useful information for the Vulcan project, the last two flying too late to be of much relevance. One Avro 707 had crashed in September 1949. The Avro 707 made its final public appearance at the Farnborough Air Show, four surviving examples of the aircraft flying alongside two Vulcan prototypes. | ||
