Come and watch the Avro Vulcan XH558 on her last great Display at the RIAT 2015
This air display was done at the RIAT Airshow 2015: Royal International Air Tattoo Airshow 2015. This airshow was held at the RAF Fairford, in Gloucestershire, right next to RAF Brize Norton.
The Avro Vulcan XH558, also known as The Spirit of Great Britain was the last of her kind to be used for air displays. She performed her last and final display at the RIAT 2015 and now she is based at Robin Hood Airport Doncaster Sheffield, where she will continue to be restored, and perform taxi runs.
You can see her sister The Avro Vulcan XM655 at Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield, where she is also maintained and restored to perform taxi and engine run-up checks over there.
