Spent some time getting close up to Vulcan Bomber XM655 at Wellesbourne Airfield.
The aircraft is maintained in a taxi-able state by a dedicated volunteer engineering staff.

Final preparation is underway for 8th August when the Vulcan will carry out it's annual taxi run down the runway.
Managed to get a guided tour of the bomb bay, the crew area and the cockpit. Incredible engineering and such a compact space for a crew of 5. I have a new level of respect for the crews that flew them to the Falklands during the conflict
If you're into Aircraft and cold war technology I'd really recommend a visit.
