In 2007, the only airworthy Vulcan bomber returned to the skies after two years of restoration by the Vulcan to the Sky Trust. XH558 wowed aviation enthusiasts at air shows across the country before finally being grounded in late 2015. In 2016, a unique relationship arose between DRS and the Trust, which resulted in the naming of a Class 37 locomotive (37424, built by English Electric at the Vulcan Foundry in Newton-le-Willows) as No. 37558 "Avro Vulcan XH558 "culminated. To celebrate the synergy between these two outstanding examples of British innovation and engineering from the late 1950s, Graham Farish has now produced this special collector's edition that will delight rail and aviation fans alike.
