The Avro Vulcan during one of its
last flying displays before retiring from the skies. The Avro
Vulcan is an iconic example of British aerospace engineering
at its world-beating best. Its impressive list of technical
achievements includes being the first successful large delta
wing aircraft, leading directly to Concorde and the Space
Shuttle, and delivering performance and agility so close to a
jet fighter’s that it was given a fighter-style control column
in place of the traditional bomber pilot’s yoke. XH558 was the
last flying Vulcan airframe.
With XH558
now permanently grounded, the "Vulcan to the Sky" Trust
intends to remain at Doncaster Sheffield Airport, and make the
Vulcan the focus of a new educational and heritage facility.
This is in part due to the Trust's ongoing commitment to keep
XH558 in good condition and use it for educational purposes,
which they committed to do for 80 years as a condition of the
2005 Lottery funding. The first stage being to establish the
Vulcan Aviation Academy & Heritage Centre. This will feature
an academy building for 14-18 year olds, which will focus on
"six areas of aviation skills: piloting, air traffic controls,
airport ground operations, aircraft operations, cabin crew and
aviation engineering". XH558 will be housed in an adjacent
heritage centre, where it will be maintained so as to be able
to perform regular fast taxi runs, the frequency of which
would be funding dependent.
