XA897 crashed after a very heavy landing in bad weather at Heathrow on October 1, 1956. It had undertaken a flight to Australia and New Zealand. The crash was controversial because AVM Harry Broadhurst, who was onboard, overruled orders to divert. Broadhurst and the pilot ejected from the crippled jet leaving the rest of the crew to perish.

XH498 was part of a three Vulcan flypast that was the star event at the opening of Wellington airport (NZWN). But when it tried to land it struck an embankment. The left main landing gear was left dangling and the Vulcan diverted to RNZAF Ohakea, where the damaged left undercarriage collapsed. XH498 was repaired and returned to service.Photo from: Air Force Museum of New Zealand

XH498 was involved in a very embarrassing incident when on October 25, 1959, it clipped an embankment while attempting to land during the opening of Wellington's new international airport. The port landing gear was left dangling. XH498 diverted to Ohakea where it landed safely albeit with the port gear collapsed. Repaired it continued in service until 1967.

This Vulcan B.1 was retained for tests. First flew in 1957 and in 1962 it was modified for trials carrying the Blue Steel long range missile in its bomb bay, as seen here. It was later used by Bristol Siddeley Engines to test the Olympus 593 as used in Concorde. Obtained from Avros nearly 50 years ago.

A famous Vulcan indeed - used solely as a test bed for the Blue Steel missile project, then the Concorde Olympus 593 and later RB199 engine development with a mock-up MRCA (Tornado) fuselage under-slung including a trial cannon installation. F/f 10.05.57. An RR crew flew 903 into Farnborough from Filton on 27.2.79. Dismantling began in 1980 and finally b/u soon after this shot. Nose/cockpit saved and taken to Wellesbourne Mountford
