Looking rather faded is the North East Aircraft Museum's XL319. Unfortunately the paintwork on Vulcans was meant to be renewed every few years but this sort of task is huge and expensive for museums to undertake. The result is as you see - dark green becomes light green or even brown and the grey paint just bleaches to light grey. XL319's cockpit is normally opened up for visitors on bank holidays; you can always ask at other times though, bribery apparently works well
