Ahh yes, watching Vulcans being dismantled is a grim business. XM652 ended her days in a Sheffield scrap yard. I went over to take a look and the whole aircraft was laid there in a crumpled heap, some guy hacking it to bits with a saw. I often wonder what happened to the engines as they were on a trolley all safely bagged-up, which suggests that they might have had some hours left on them. Pity they didn’t find their way to XH558, although I guess fitting them might have been tricky, given that they were 300 series engines.
