Visit the Vulcan on Father’s Day

London Southend Airport
10.00 am to 4.00 pm

Visit the Vulcan on Fathers’ Day is a great time out for Dad on his special day.

He can get a close-up look at Vulcan XL426 in the Vulcan Restoration Trust’s hangar and for an additional fee can climb inside for a guided tour of the cockpit.

Alongside the Vulcan, there will be examples of the weapons it carried during its time with the Royal Air Force, including the type of 1,000 lb high explosive bomb the Vulcan force used against Port Stanley airfield during the 1982 Falklands Conflict.

There will be a display of classic cars to enjoy and much, much more to keep everyone entertained – please check back here for details.
Refreshments will be on sale, including a licensed bar.

The Hangar Shop will be selling a selection of Vulcan souvenirs, including models, badges, patches, books and much more.
General admission is £8.00 for adults with under-16s admitted FREE. Tickets will be on sale on the gate and are also available to buy in advance should you wish. There is no need to buy advance tickets for under-16s.
Cockpit visits are an additional £8.00 per person applicable to both adults and under-16s.

Cockpit visits will take place every 15 minutes on a timed ticket basis, so there will be no need to stand and queue. Cockpit visit tickets are subject to availability and will only be on sale on the day. When they’re gone, they’re gone!
Children must be over 1 metre tall to visit the cockpit and must climb the entry ladder themselves (no carrying).
Entry and cockpit tours are free for Vulcan Restoration Trust members subject to presenting a valid VRT membership card.
