Are you sure?Β They seem oddly shaped and in a wrong place for air brakes.

Yeah. There are air brakes below the wings as well. However, the brakes are in the medium drag position, not in the fully deployed high drag position.
After all, the Vulcan is an inherently odd plane and air brakes generally come in a plethora of shapes and sizes.

Well, live and learn.
Actually, the Vulcan is a very practical aircraft given Avro's manufacturing limitations at the time.
