1/72` Airfix Avro Vulcan B.2k XH558

Don't cry because it's over.
Smile because it happened.
Quoted - Shawn Maffett - RIAT 2015

And just like that she's back!
This time she's earning her keep!

After VTTS failed to give 558 a permanent home undercover at DSA, HHrAviation stepped in on behalf of the RAF to seize 558 from them for many many reasons!

XH558 will now be based back at former RAF now HHrA Cottesmore with her HHrAviation sisters but for now she has been flown from Doncaster Shefield Airport to RAF Fairford to be parked in the B-2 Spirit Hangers along with ZH102 & XV249 for further work to prepare her for her future life as a B.2k Tanker.
She will have other roles to play too, Heavy Bomber Simulator to train the RAF's future QRA pilots as an example.

Updates:
HHrA have returned 558's ability to have the Vulcans original underwing Pylons fitted.
They've also bought and highly modified a Jamming pod to fit to them to help with her secondary role.

After HHrA took over XH558's care @ Airbus Military agreed to support her once again!
To celebrate the deal HHrA have added "AIRBUS" titles to the right hand gear door and "@ MILITARY" to the left hand gear door.
