Newark [Nottinghamshire & Lincolnshire] Air Museum’s Trustees are pleased to announce that the new owner of the Avro Vulcan B.2 XM594, which is displayed at the museum, is the Lincolnshire's Lancaster Association.

Having initially purchased Avro Shackleton Mk.3 WR977 in the late 1990s, the Vulcan becomes the second Avro airframe that the Lincolnshire's Lancaster Association have on loan with the UK’s largest volunteer managed aviation museum.

“The Museum Trustees are delighted with this decision, which ensures that both aircraft will remain at the museum site on Winthorpe Airfield”, Commented Museum Trustee Howard Heeley, he concluded, “We are also looking forward to the possibility of forming an even closer working relationship with the Lincolnshire's Lancaster Association, which we believe will help secure the long-term future of both aircraft for future generations”ot sure if this has been listed here before:

Like the Shackleton. Is the Newark Vulcan going to stay at the air museum?

I hope the LLA will maintain the Vulcan in her current condition in that she continues to be powered up from time to time etc.
