Was this the one that was restored? Do you know how long she's been flying? Awesome shot.

Yes she's the only Vulcan left flying. It costs about £2,000,000 per year to keep her in the air. This is raised purely by charitable donations from the the general public. They were operated by the RAF from 1953 to 1984. The Vulcan, (not this one), was used in the Falklands in 1982 to disable the runway at Port Stanley.
