The Vulcan 558 Club, now the Vulcan to The Sky Club, was launched in May 1997 in response to the public's continuing interest in the ongoing activities and future preservation status of what was the RAF's last flying Avro Vulcan, XH558, at its home at Bruntingthorpe Airfield near Lutterworth in South Leicestershire.

Since 1997 the Club and its members have worked hard to help promote the preservation status of XH558 during its years as an exhibition and ground-running 'aircraft' as part of the British Aviation Heritage collection.

Since 1999 the Club has been actively supporting the XH558 Return to Flight project by way of its continual promotion of the aircraft at air shows and other public events. This support has been reinforced by the Club's fundraising efforts in support of, firstly the Vulcan Operating Company (VOC), and, then latterly the Vulcan to the Sky (VTTS) campaign.

In year 2000 the Club formally registered this support to the Project by registering itself as a VOC Founding Sponsor. The Club has not only honoured its Founding Sponsor pledge of £25,000 but has increased its direct cash donation to the project by another £7,250 thanks to a second successful Grand Draw, and continues these fund raising support activities.

The Vulcan To The Sky Club is officially recognised as the primary support organisation behind the Project and the aircraft, which is open to both the aviation enthusiast and the general public alike.

The membership of the club now stands just a little less than 3,000 and continues to grow daily as public awareness of, and subscription to the campaign increases.

The annual cost of being a member of the club is normally £24.00 for the first year dropping to £21.00 per year after that, this rate being applicable to adult individual and joint memberships and to family memberships. There is a discounted rate of £21.00 for the first year dropping to £18.00 per year after that, for individuals aged over 60 or under 16. Overseas members pay £29.00 for the first year dropping to £26.00 in subsequent years.

Membership benefits are highlighted by the publication of a colour magazine twice a year and a quarterly newsletter. The Club also maintains a regularly updated web-site and a telephone information line for the prompt publication and announcement of up-to-date news and information regarding the Club and the aircraft.

The social and public face of the Club is promoted by its participation in the UK's Air Show circuit and the Bruntingthorpe Open Days. The Club also arranges for members to meet together by holding Social events at venues which include Bruntingthorpe airfield, and also organises member's visits to other aviation facilities and institutions.

The Vulcan To The Sky Club welcomes your interest in both Avro Vulcan B.2 XH558 and the Club. It is hoped that the information contained within this website will encourage you to translate your interest into joining the Club as a first positive step towards helping to get XH558 back to display flight status.
