There are 19 Vulcans on display in museums around the world, but XH558 is the only one currently deemed airworthy.
Powered by four Rolls-Royce Olypmus turbojet engines, Vulcans are 106ft long, have a 111ft wingspan, weigh 204,000lb and have a top speed of 645mph.
The Trust said summer 2015 would be a ‘memorable flying season for every Vulcan enthusiast across the country’.
They added: ‘We intend to use every flying hour available, taking her to more people than ever before, celebrating other iconic British engineering achievements and saluting the heroes of Britain’s legendary V-Force in which she played a vital role during the knife-edge tension of the Cold War.’
It will fly for the final time this Autumn before going on display at The Vulcan Aviation Academy and Heritage Centre at Robin Hood Airport.
