Built at Woodford in 1959, this was the second production Vulcan B.2 and the first with Olympus 201 engines, refuelling probe and tail cone ECM bulge. At the time of this appearance it was still on the strength of 230 OCU but became the first Vulcan to have an extended ECM fin tip, becoming a B.2 (MRR) with 27 Sqdn. Scrapped in February 1982 at St Athan.

The 1 Group panthers head badge has been applied on the fin along with the Union Flag. Replicating the markings applied to Vulcan aircraft that were sent to the USA to compete in the 'Giant Voice' SAC Navigation and Bombing competitions. XM605 departed Waddington a few days after the photo was taken (September 2nd 1981) to be presented to the USAF at Castle AFB, Ca for their museum.

This aircraft has been fitted with under wing pylons for Shrike missiles / ECM jamming pods as used in the Falklands conflict. These are visible outboard of the main gear doors. XM612 was involved in the Falklands operations but did not perform shrike missions. In fact it never went beyond Ascension Island having been slated as a back up aircraft on a number of missions. Also of note is the 1000 gallon auxiliary fuel tank which is sitting under the starboard wing. This could be installed in the bomb-bay to extend operational range at the expense of some bomb load.
