In 1984 , XM655 was sold off to Roy Jacobsen who intended to keep her airworthy , but the costs proved prohibitive and also the runway was too short for it to take off , and XM655 was left to deteriorate . Title of XM655 then passed onto John Littler , owner of Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield , who intended to get her to a taxiable condition , but not airworthy . As well as MaPS maintaining it , the 150 City of Oxford Air Cadets helps to maintain it . Taxi runs . After restoration work , XM655 made her first public taxi run at Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield on 16 February 1997 , with another two runs later that year .

At various of these events , the display of XM655 has been accompanied by flypasts by the BBMF , the Red Arrows and Avro Vulcan XH558 . XM655 is also used by the crews of XH558 as required for currency and ground training when only ground running is required or when XH558 is unavailable due to maintenance .
