Vulcan XL388

Guys
I came across a pic of her cockpit and she looks very sad sitting on a rough looking trailer all covered in muck.. Hope it was just an old pic but can anyone shed any light on her? present condition??

Anyone got any pics?

Also apart from 607 and 603 which other vulcans (complete or nose sections) are facing an uncertain future or are in need of help? Curious after the whole XL391 affair….

Pretty sure that it was a Hastings at Honington rather than a Hermes which was next to XL388 in the early 1980’s.

I remember seeing this vulcan sitting at RAF Honington when i was young, It was a complete airframe in those days. If i remember it sat near to a fuselage of a Hermes at the time.

XL388 moved about two years ago to Aeroventure at Doncaster for restoration. I have’nt seen her since I look around her about 3 years ago. She needed a lot of internal equipment when I looked at buying her.
