Remarks |
|
The history of XJ823 starts in 1961 when it was delivered to No 27 Squadron at Scampton on 20 April. It was then transferred to No 35 Squadron at RAF Coningsby.
Long-resident on the Akrotiri Wing, 823 returned to the UK at Waddington with IX Sqn in 1975.
From April 1977, after receiving Maritime Radar Reconnaissance modifications (MRR), which gave it a gloss paint finish, 823 served with No 27 Squadron at Scampton.
823 was refitted and transferred to 35 Squadron at Scampton in April 1981 and subsequently went to Waddington in 1982.
Arrival in Cumbria
Vulcan XJ823 was flown into Carlisle on 24th Jan 1983, seven months after the official end of Falkland Island hostilities.
It had been bought from the Royal Air Force by two volunteers for £2,000 with around 5,953.30 hours on the airframe.
The tail now carries 35Sqn insignia on the starboard side and 27Sqn (Dumbo) on port.

For such a large aircraft, the Vulcan has a very cramped cockpit !

Una cabina "de las de verdad". Este ejemplar de Avro Vulcan fue entregado al 9º Escuadrón de la RAF en febrero de 1963, pasando más tarde al 101 y al 44. Una vez iniciada la Guerra de las Malvinas, el XM612 en enviado a la isla de Ascensión donde actúa como avión nodriza, ya que nunca llegó a entrar en combate real. Tras acabar la guerra regresa al 44, donde permanecerá hasta que finalmente es retirado de servicio en Norwich el 30 de enero de 1983.
