Avro Vulcan B.2 XH558
Per Aviation Week 22 Oct issue.
XH558 made a 34 minute flight on Oct 18 at Bruntingthorpe, Leicestershire, England, the goal of years of work by volunteers and contractors at the Vulcan Operating Co. XH558 is the first large restored military jet to achieve this milestone. Big John

Yep, that is VERY cool. Strangely, I've not seen any video of this milestone flight. Anyone got a link? -- Jay Honeck Iowa City, IA Pathfinder N56993 www.AlexisParkInn.com "Your Aviation Destination"

Avro Vulcan B.2 XH558
Some tid bits on bird.
Vulcan could fly above 60,000 ft. They found four brand new engines and installed them. Said that the service life of these engines would exceed the airframe for the short flights it would be flown for exibition.
