What is the reason for the visibility, or lack there of, out of the cockpit?

It was designed as a nuclear bomber it even was painted white to reflect the flash.
I just guess it had something to do with.

Not all had a rejection seat btw.

This was at Volkel Airbase Netherlands.
I believe its flying there today too.

Thanks

I use to see them flying all the time when I was stationed at Offutt AFB NE in the early 80's.  They have a very distinct engine sound compared to US aircraft.  (Brits. had a detachment stationed there.)

beautiful airplane!
couple of questions tho:
1. in the last pic is it just me or does the exhaust nozzle looke kinda bent on the right outboard? I dont think they used thrust vectoring on the vulcan but who knows
2. nvm the cockpit window question already got asked/answered
