XM575 was retired to the East Midlands Airport in 1983, and received a civilian registration, G-BLMC. In 1983, there were preparations to make the Vulcan airworthy for a ferry flight to Bruntingthorpe to become part of a planned museum on the site, XM575 stayed at East Midlands as funds for the project ran out. Later XH558 would go to Bruntingthore and eventually would be restored there. 
Today the museum at East Midlands is located on the opposite side of the airfield to when the Vulcan was delivered, until the move XM575 regularly ran three of the four engines, but the Olumpus 301s are now considered to be a noise nuisance at an airport, so are no longer allowed to be run.
