Two images were incorrectly uploaded to XH558 over the last few days (one of them mine!), AC522270 and AC522232. They should have been allocated to G-VLCN, the civil reg under which the former XH558 now flies. May I ask for this to be rectified.
I note that there are two database entries for this aircraft as XH558, namely
Avro Vulcab B2 and Avro Vulcan B.2
My understanding is that the correct designation is
Avro 698 Vulcan B2 and the cn should be SET12.
First flight 1960
Last flight 1993
The airframe should be linked to G-VLCN.
Manufacturer A V Roe.
Similarly the entry for G-VLCN requires correction as above, the airframe linkage to be XH558. The engines are Rolls Royce Olympus 202's, zero timed samples having been fitted during restoration.
First (after restoration) flight 2007.
Registration (Civil) 07/04/2005
