I have the Vulcan Haynes manual
Overpriced but was a present so meh.

The Vulcan test pilot book by Tony Blackman is an interesting read as well.

Oh, Vulcan 607
have that one too, quite an achievement. But smacking a little of the RAF being desperate to play and not wanting the Navy to take over running the planes. As has been the case since the late 1930s....

Crossed with the monster out of Aliens

There's been no decent Dr Who since Tom Baker
If it doesn't have a man on the floor in a bin liner pretending to be an alien life form it's not proper Dr Who. All the CGI ruins it.
