Description
Corgi Aviation Archive AA31208 depicts the Avro Vulcan B.Mk 2 flown as XH558 with RAF No.230 OCU at RAF Waddington in 1960. This release is anchored to an early service moment, with the reference noting XH558 joining 230 OCU in July 1960 before moving on through later conversions and roles, giving the model a clear, specific unit and year identity.
A superb centrepiece for a Cold War RAF shelf, ideal for display if you want an iconic V-bomber in 1:144 with a well-documented airframe story.
