Warwickshire Police said Stratford Road was closed near Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield after the incident on Friday.
The heritage aircraft, based at Wellesbourne, is not airworthy, but was due to taxi down the runway at a public event on Sunday. That has been cancelled, the group behind it said "due to “ongoing recovery work”.
The XM655 Maintenance and Preservation Society, which looks after the aircraft, said while it was “largely undamaged” a lot of inspection work needed to be carried out. Writing on Facebook, it said: “Due to a malfunction of a piece of equipment in the cockpit, the aircraft remained at full power for approximately two seconds longer than intended.”
Vulcan bombers were part of Britain’s Cold War “V-force”, which also included Valiants and Victors. They were operated by the RAF from the mid-1950s until the mid-1980s. The last airworthy Vulcan flew for the final time in 2015, but not before being seen by millions at air shows and during heritage flights across the UK. The XM655 is one of the last few still able to taxi.
Blimey … just a few more feet and there could have been a nasty RTC …
