XH558 continues to be maintained to the RAF standards that she has been kept at through her flying years and after. In keeping her at these high standards we are able to show her off during monthly Engine Ground-Runs where she ‘howls’ in front of groups of visitors. Thank you for your support.
Appropriate quantities of critical spares are retained to ensure that AVRO Vulcan XH558 and other examples of the type may be maintained in future years.
