You're right about the formal designations CAPFlyer but B2 tends to get used as shorthand and ironically the UK CAA's register of it as G-VLCN records it as a B2.

As an aside,'558 was the first B.2 in RAF service and the last!

In it's time it was also an B.2 (MMR) and a k.2 tanker.

What a fantastic job of getting her flying! Any future thoughts to bringing her across the pond to show her here in America? I had the pleasure of seeing and hearing the Concorde at Oshkosh. Curious if the engines on the Vulcan are close to the same as were on the Concorde...LOUD!

...just another plane dreamer.

Wow, didn't think my pictures would stir so much interest outside the UK , over 1000 hits already.

Here's another one - taken on the same day as those I posted to open this thread - but which, in this example only, I've modified slightly just for fun to give an impression of what the old girl used to look like in certain conditions

Vulcans are cool, no matter where you are from!

It is also an amazing accomplishment to return this aircraft to the air where it belongs.

I was actually surprised how much smaller it was than I thought when i saw the one up close in Hendon. I didn't realize the wheels were so tiny so in my mind when i saw pictures of Vulcans with the gear down i thought the wheel size was that of an average airliner. Don't get me wrong it is a big aircraft but the wheels played tricks on me regarding the size perspective.

I have no idea why i just shared that with you all. I know, I know...get back in the cage.
