Quote :: Five years later on 7 February 1983, Vulcan XM594 landed at Winthorpe Airfield in eastern Nottinghamshire. When it safely touched down it became the only Vulcan to be flown into a non-licensed airfield in the UK. An abridged version of the following article, which describes the acquisition process, was originally published in an edition of Aviation News that year.

And we all know what history XM607 was to make 4 yrs later in 1982 8)
