More Vulcans, Halton this time

Does anyone have tales/knowledge of the history, arrival, use and fate of the (3 I think) Vulcans that were at Halton in the 1970s?

I've been told now that at least one arrived by air (on Haltons grass field). I saw them many times as an Air Cadet at the Gliding School at Halton, all with xxxM (maintenance) serials.

One was silver, one white and if there was a 3rd I believe it may have been camouflaged. Was the silver one a prototype of some sort or were any of them natural metal in operational service?

...and whilst we're at it, there was a Comet C2, Argosy & several Canberras too. Did anyone see them arrive?
