The history of XJ823  starts in 1961 when it was delivered to No 27 Sqn. at Scampton on 20 April.  It was then transferred to No 35 Sqn. at RAF Coningsby.

Long time resident of the Akrotiri Wing, 823 returned to the UK at Waddington with IX Sqn in 1975.

From April 1977, after receiving Maritime Radar Reconnaissance modifications (MRR), which gave it a gloss paint finish,  823 served with No 27 Sqn. at Scampton.

823 was refitted and transferred to 35 Sqn. Scampton in April 1981 and subsequently went to Waddington in 1982.

Vulcan XJ823 was flown into Carlisle on 24th Jan 1983, seven months after the official end of the Falkland Islands campaign.

It had been bought from the Royal Air Force by two volunteers for £2,000 with around 5,953 hours on the airframe. 

It's now on permanent display at the Solway Aviation Museum, Carlisle Airport.The tail carries 35 Sqn. insignia on the starboard side and 27 Sqn.(Dumbo) on port.
