XL 321 was deliverd in january 1962. Fitted with Olympus 201 engines. Modified for Blue Steel missile. Highest number of operational flying hours for a Vulcan. Over 6,952 hrs.
Later scrapped.

Part of 617 squadron at some point from what i can gather. No dates as to when or where it was scrapped but theres some pics on the net from 1982.
