This Vulcan (#XM655) underwent a period of bad luck after leaving RAF service in 1983. Left to rot at Wellesbourne for many years, eventually she was transferred to the ownership of the airfield and was brought back into running condition with help from Delta Engineering and by the end of 1996 moved under her own power for the first time in years. She has come along very well since then and is now regularly fast-taxied. The aircraft is extremely unlikely to ever fly, but the owner and the engineering team intend to keep her in ground running condition and continue with the taxi runs. See the 655 Maintenance and Preservation Society site for more details. Several engine runs and a taxi run
