It is hard to accept is that this is 558's final year and it's displays will be missed, but arguably the most two historically significant Avro Vulcans have been sitting outside for a number of years.
XM597 at East Fortune and XM607 at Waddington both 'Black Buck ' veterans of the The Falklands campaign cannot survive indefinitely exposed to the UK climate.
607 has received some TLC but surely deserves a climatically controlled environment to arrest further corrosion?
