Nuneaton based Air Cadets who had been backing the campaign to save the last flying example of one of Britain’s most iconic historic aircraft, Avro Vulcan XH558 were delighted to hear the news that an anonymous benefactor has donated £400,000 to help keep her in the air. The Vulcan to the Sky Trust was facing a cash crisis and needed to raise £650,000 by the end of the month to keep the XH558 project going.
The anonymous £400,000 donation means Vulcan XH558, which is currently based at RAF Lyneham, in Wiltshire, will be able to appear at air shows this summer.
