The Vulcan Operating Company Ltd has been formed to "Return to display flight" the last flying example of the famous Avro Vulcan.

The aircraft is now registered officially with the UK Civil Aviation Authority as G-VLCN, however it is usually known by its RAF designation of XH558

The Vulcan Operating Company Ltd is raising the funding required to return the aircraft to display flight by selling the Vulcan's unique marketing and advertising benefits to commercial sponsors, and from individual, philanthropic sponsorship.

The aim of the Vulcan Restoration Trust is to restore their Avro Vulcan bomber - XL426 - back to airworthy readiness, so that this wonderful example of British aviation heritage can take to the skies once again.

The VRT - a registered charity - consists of ordinary men and women who share an extraordinary dream, and who are using their own individual talents and time to make this common dream come true. Their Vulcan, XL426, lives at London Southend Airport, Essex, England, where she arrived in December 1986. She spent a few years slowly rusting away until a group of like minded aviation enthusiasts clubbed together to buy the Vulcan from her previous owner, thus saving her from being turned into a pile of scrap metal.
This group of enthusiasts formed the Vulcan Restoration Trust. Over the past few years the VRT has transformed XL426 from a corroding exhibit to a living, breathing, noisy, high-speed taxiing aircraft, but they still need a great deal of help.

The VRT are a wonderfully friendly organisation with a warm welcome for everyone.

The Vulcan XM655 Maintenance and Preservation Society (655 MaPS for short) comprises a small group of dedicated volunteer technicians, many whom are ex-RAF, some even ex V-Force personnel, whose commitment and goal is to maintain and preserve Avro Vulcan XM655 as a live and working example for the benefit of all.

XM655 is the youngest Vulcan survivor and equipment-wise remarkably intact, one of only three Vulcan bombers in the world still capable of ground-running and fast taxi runs, and of these, the only Vulcan powered by the more powerful Rolls-Royce Olympus 301 series engines.

The aim of the 655 MaPS Support Group is to promote Vulcan XM655, and assist with its upkeep. All money raised through the Support Group will be used solely for the maintenance, preservation and promotion of Vulcan XM655. As a paid up 655 MaPS Support Group member, you will receive a membership card, a bi-annual newspaper, have access to the cockpit after taxi runs, and other benefits as advised from time to time.
