Non seulement cette superbe machine ne pourra plus revoler

Ils envisagent quand même de faire un vol de convoyage pour atteindre sa nouvelle base puisqu'il leur faut quitter Doncaster.

Si cette option devait se réaliser, on peut supposer qu'il y aura foule autour de l'aéroport ce jour-là...

It’s been confirmed that Vulcan XH558 will not be able to make a final flight to a new home

Last month there was some speculation that Vulcan To The Sky Trust (VTST) might be able to fly Vulcan B.2 XH558 one final time, to a yet to be announced new home. While this was never regarded as a probability, VTST has now confirmed that it won’t be possible. It’s still looking for a new, final home for the Vulcan but – sadly – a final flight has been ruled out.

In the US, Vulcan B.2 XM573 has been rolled into the hangar at the Strategic Air Command & Aerospace Museum in Ashland, Nebraska where it is to be refurbished. Following withdrawal from service it was presented to the museum as a token of cooperation between the RAF and Strategic Air Command – it’s one of three Vulcans on show in the US.

The others are XM605 which is resident at the Castle Air Museum in Atwood, California, and XM606 which can be seen at Barksdale Global Power Museum (formerly known as the 8th Air Force Museum) in Bossier City, Louisiana. A fourth North America-based Vulcan is to be found in Canada – former 617 and 9 Squadron XL361 is at CFB Goose Bay. Look out for a Vulcan survivor’s guide in the next issue of FlyPast.
