XH558, possibly the most famous of the iconic Vulcan aircraft, flew in operational service between 1960 and 1984. After which she was selected for display duties with the RAF's Vulcan Display Flight (VDF), making her display debut at the TVS Airshow in Bournemouth in May 1985. The display Vulcan was the representative of all Vulcan squadrons and it was painted with the insignia of No.1 Group (a black panther’s head).
