Vulcan Twilight Taxi Run

Join us as the sun sets at London Southend Airport on Saturday 17 May for our 2025 Vulcan Twilight Taxi-Run.

Our exclusive visitors enclosure gives uninterrupted views across the airport, ideal for the Vulcan enthusiast and photographers.

XL426 will carry out two taxi-runs, the second pass at high-speed, as the sun dips below the horizon. The Vulcan will then taxi back to shut down engines in front of the enclosure.

Arrive from 6.00 pm to soak up the atmosphere, view our displays and exhibits and watch XL426 being prepared for the evening's event.

The taxi-run will start at approximately 7.45 pm.

Teas and coffees will be on sale throughout the evening and there will be a licensed bar.

Tickets are priced £50.00 for adults and £16.00 for under-16s. Booking fees apply.

Vulcan Restoration Trust Members are entitled to reduced-price Adult admission of £25.00 (Individual Members may purchase one reduced-price ticket and Family Members may purchase two.)

Join the Vulcan Restoration Trust here and save money when buying your tickets.

Children under the age of 6 cannot be admitted, sorry. Under-16s must have a ticket and must be accompanied by an Adult ticket holder.

Sorry - no animals, with the exception of assistance dogs, can be admitted to the event.
