Arriving at Blackpool on its last flight, escorted by Royal Navy Canberra T22 WH797 that was on a test flight out of nearby Warton. XL391 was one of the Vulcan B2 modified for 'Operation Black Buck' but it was never used operationally. It was kept outside at Blackpool and the salt laden air took its toll. It was finally scrapped in 2006. This photo is copyright © Shaun Connor, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
