1/72`• Airfix Avro Vulcan B.2 XH558

Don't cry because it's over.
Smile because it happened.
Quoted - Shawn Maffett - RIAT 2015

And just like that she's back!
This time she's earning her keep!

After VTTS failed to give 558 a permanent home undercover at DSA, HHrA stepped in on behalf of the RAF to seize 558 from them for many many reasons!

XH558 will be based back at Cottesmore with her HHrA sisters but for now she has been flown from Doncaster Shefield Airport to RAF Waddington to be parked in the former E-3D Sentry and current Red Arrows Hanger for further work to prepare her for her future life as a Heavy Bomber Intercept Simulator.
She will have other roles to play too.

Updates:
HHrA have returned 558's ability to have the Vulcans original underwing Pylons fitted.
They've also bought and highly modified a Jamming pod to fit to them to help with her main role.

After HHrA took over XH558's care @ Airbus Military agreed to support her once again!
To celebrate the deal HHrA have added "AIRBUS" titles to the right hand gear door and "@ MILITARY" to the left hand dogeared door.
