Video footage of Vulcan XM575

Im looking for some video footage of XM575 is flight and/or running on the ground while she was still in service. Two airshows in particular i know of her presence at were the 1981 waddington airshow with a 4-ship vulcan scramble and the middenhall air fete of either 81 or 82. If anyone knows of any footage showing this aircraft in flight would you please be able to point me in the right direction?
Thanks.

Found this short vid, Vulcan display at Mildenhall Air Fete in 1982-ish, Don’t think it’s 575 must have been 1981 will keep looking…..

My photo log doesn’t show that I took any pictures of a Vulcan at Air Fete 81, but I did take a pic of XM575 at Air Fete 82. My notes show that it was on the ground so may have been in the static park rather than flying.
