Reaching for the sky! The 2005 'Wellesbourne Wings & Wheels' included a low power then a later full power taxi featuring the magnificent Vulcan B.2 XM655.
The occasion was the 2005 'Wellesbourne Wings & Wheels' which included a low power then a later full power taxi featuring the magnificent Vulcan B.2 XM655. Sadly she can never fly again however she raised the nose wheel for a few thrilling moments.
XM655 is the youngest surviving Avro Vulcan in the United Kingdom and perhaps the closest to the final war-ready standard Vulcan B.2. She is now operated by the 655 MAPS (Maintenance & Preservation Society) and is permanently based at Wellesbourne.
