Best advice Ken is get your hands on the book "The Vulcan Story" byTim Laming. It is a MUST have for any Vulcan enthusiast.
If you message me any questions you have on the real XH558 I'll try and help. I've got tonnes of stuff, including the sweatshirt!!!

I must have counted every rivet under the Vulcan wing in that cold winter 1962/63. Freezing my butt off 1hr on 1hr off static guard. I came to hate the b*****ds, dripping antifreeze over my anorak.

i can tell you the vulcan to the skies group generally has 4 tents at the yeovil airshow, and outside each tent they have a sign, this sign is about 3 foot in height and seems to be 10 foot long, meaning if your busy watching the display while walking along your bound to find it:) i found that out the hard way last year, this year i think i will donate if they are still there as i think they also intenionally push that sign under peoples feet to try and get some money, may aswell save the swolen shins:)
tis a beautiful plane thats for sure
