May I temporarily hijack this thread to advertise next April's V Force reunion at Newark Air Museum. There is already a thread about this on Military Aircrew, but you can go direct to the reunion website via this link
V-Force Reunion I dont know whether XH 558 will be putting in an appearance, obviously it would be tremendous if it did, but that will be a matter for NAM and Vulcan to the Sky. Anyway if the 2004 reunion was anything to go by it should be a great weekend for all ex V Force people, of any rank, aircrew and groundcrew.
