In September 1956, the RAF received its first Vulcan B.1, XA897, which immediately went on a round-the-world tour; this was done due to a great emphasis placed upon the provision of goodwill visits and tours abroad during the early years of Vulcan operation, as they were seen as highly effective propaganda; many Vulcans were utilised in this role. Misfortune struck on 1 October 1956, however; while landing at London Heathrow Airport at the completion of the world tour, XA897 was destroyed in a fatal accident. Avro Vulcan (wallpaper 4).

The first two aircraft were delivered to 230 OCU in January 1957 and the training of crews started on 21 February 1957, in the following months more aircraft were delivered to the OCU. The first OCU course to qualify was No. 1 Course, on the 21 May 1957, and they went on to form the first flight of No.83 Squadron. No. 83 Squadron was the first operational squadron to use the bomber, at first using borrowed Vulcans from the OCU and on 11 July 1956 it received the first aircraft of its own. By September 1957, several Vulcans had been handed over to No.83 Squadron The second OCU course also formed a Flight of 83 Squadron, but subsequent trained crews were also used to form the second bomber squadron, 101 Squadron. The last aircraft from the first batch of 25 aircraft had been delivered by the end of 1957 to 101 Squadron. Avro Vulcan (wallpaper 4). Avro Vulcan aircraft images wallpaper gallery 4.
