Several Vulcans survive, housed in museums in both the United Kingdom and North America (USA and Canada). One Vulcan, [XH558 (G\-VLCN) *Spirit of Great Britain*](/wiki/Avro_Vulcan_XH558 "Avro Vulcan XH558"), was used as a display aircraft by the RAF as part of the [Vulcan Display Flight](/wiki/Vulcan_Display_Flight "Vulcan Display Flight") until 1993\. After being grounded, it was later restored to flight by the Vulcan To The Sky Trust and displayed as a civilian aircraft from 2008 until 2015, before being retired a second time for engineering reasons. In retirement, XH558 is to be retained at its base at [Doncaster Sheffield Airport](/wiki/Doncaster_Sheffield_Airport "Doncaster Sheffield Airport") as a taxiable aircraft, a role already performed by two other survivors, [XL426](/wiki/Avro_Vulcan_XL426 "Avro Vulcan XL426") (G\-VJET) based at [Southend Airport](/wiki/Southend_Airport "Southend Airport"), and [XM655](/wiki/Avro_Vulcan_XM655 "Avro Vulcan XM655") (G\-VULC), based at [Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield](/wiki/Wellesbourne_Mountford_Airfield "Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield"). XJ823, a B.2, can be seen at the [Solway Aviation Museum](/wiki/Solway_Aviation_Museum "Solway Aviation Museum") at [Carlisle Lake District Airport](/wiki/Carlisle_Lake_District_Airport "Carlisle Lake District Airport"). XM607 is currently being restored at RAF Waddington, where it has been gate guardian since being retired. XM594 is on display at the Newark Air Museum, Newark, Nottinghamshire, England.
