FSX Avro Vulcan XH558. (civil aircraft registration G-VLCN) The Spirit Of Great Britain is the only airworthy example of the 134 Avro Vulcan V-bombers that were operated by the Royal Air Force from 1953 until 1984. Vulcan XH558 served with the RAF between 1960 and 1985 in the bomber, maritime reconnaissance and air-to-air refueling roles. The RAF operated XH558 as a display aircraft from 1986 until 1992, when budget cuts forced its retirement. She is presently operated by the Vulcan to the Sky Trust as a display aircraft, funded entirely by charitable donations and the UK Lotterys Heritage Fund. Her engines were replaced with new (zero hours) Olympus 202 turbojets, each rated at 17,000 lbf, for better reliability. She is registered with the United Kingdom Civil Aviation Authority as G-VLCN but has an exemption to fly in Royal Air Force markings as XH558. Her Home Base is Robin Hood Airport, Doncaster Sheffield (EGCN). I use U.S. Code 107 (The Fair Use Doctrine) to help protect me from copyright infringement since I do what I do for educational purposes only, without regard to any monetary goal. The law can be read at the web link as follows. http. //www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/html/uscode17/uscsec1700000107000-.html I never leave anyone un-credited for their work, and sincerely apologize for leaving anyone out, if that ever happens. The fact is that my work makes other peoples work look fantastic, yet I only fix these things because it is neceserry. If the aircraft designers would take about 20 hours to test-fly their creations, there would be no need for me. Any problems or questions should be directed to me. Douglas E.
