First flown in August 1953 as an MR.2 and operated by 204, 269, 210, 38 and 205 Sqdns, going back into service with 8 Sqdn following AEW.2 conversion in 1972. Wfu in 1981 and used for crash rescue training at St Mawgan. Refurbished for display in MR.2 configuration as gate guard there in 1989 (my 2011 photo). In 2015 the MoD put the aircraft up for disposal and amid fears of scrapping, a private group crowdfunded its purchase as a charity, dismantled the aircraft and stored it near the site of the Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre (which has since sadly met its demise) at Newquay

XM605 entered service with the RAF at the end of 1963 with 9 Sqdn, going on to serve with the Coningsby, Cottesmore and Waddington Wings before progressing to 101 Sqdn in 1973 and then finally 50 Sqdn in 1979. Vulcans regularly visited the USA as part of the NATO nuclear deterrent on lone ranger missions, bombing competitions and squadron deployments. XM605 was one such and when selected for preservation upon retirement was flown to Castle AFB in September 1981 for the Castle Air Museum. The following year the RAF borrowed its refuelling probe for use in the Falklands campaign
