As the title XM655 ran out of road.

"A restored Vulcan bomber ploughed off the end of a runway and nearly crashed onto a busy road yesterday. The episode happened at Wellesbourne Mountford Airfield near Stratford St Avon in Warwickshire." ........."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."


So a cost for pulling it out of the mud and many hours to check that nothing serious has happened.
