Vulcan VIP visit

VIP Visits are your opportunity to experience XL426 in her hangar at London Southend Airport away from the crowds and are ideal for enthusiasts and photographers.

VIP Visitors are given a guided tour of XL426 by an experienced guide before climbing the crew ladder to do into the Vulcan’s cockpit.

Outside the cockpit, VIP Visitors will be able to meet the Trust’s engineering team and learn more about their work maintaining and restoring XL426.

The hangar tour includes a look behind the scenes to see the Trust's workshops and engineering activities not normally seen by the public.

You will spend approximately 30 minutes inside XL426's cockpit. Due to aircraft engineering works possibly taking place on the day of your visit, the Vulcan's cockpit canopy and the front and/or rear crew seats may have been removed.

Arrival is from 9.00 am for a prompt start at 9.30 am. Each Vulcan VIP Visit lasts approximately four hours and must be booked in advance. All VIP Visitors must be aged 16 or over.

The maximum number of visitors on each Vulcan VIP Visit is limited to just 10.

Each visit costs £60.00 per person and includes a welcome presentation with complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits.

Important Note: we will provide refunds up to seven days prior to the event but will not provide refunds for any reason after that time, with the exception of the cancellation of the event.
