We are absolutely delighted to announce that we recently signed up as official sponsors of one of the Royal Air Force’s most iconic planes – the Avro Vulcan B2 XM655. 

Avro Vulcan XM655 was third from last of the Vulcan bombers produced for Morgan Fire Protection the Royal Air Force, being delivered in late 1964, and was part of the UK’s nuclear deterrent force throughout the 1960s and 1970s. It is now owned by Wellesbourne Airfield, and is looked after by 655 Maintenance and Preservation Society (655MaPS) which is a volunteer organisation of Vulcan enthusiasts.

One of the few Vulcans remaining in ground running condition, the XM655 is the only one with the most powerful of the engine variants (Bristol Olympus 301s) and 655MaPS aim to keep it running for as long as possible. The aircraft Morgan Fire Protectionsystems are powered up and exercised regularly, engine ground runs are carried out several times every year, and a “Fast Taxi” event is carried out every summer to show off the aircraft and raise funds to support its preservation.

Our local representative, David Bryant, who negotiated the sponsorship, paid visit recently and promptly serviced two of the foam extinguishers along with delivering replacement CO2, dry powder and water extinguishers providing them with even better fire protection for our aircraft, ground equipment and workshop/office accommodation.
