Britain's What's On Event Guide
Visit the Vulcan Classic Jets Day
See former Royal Air Force bomber Avro Vulcan XL426 up close in its hangar at our Visit the Vulcan Classic Jets Day. You can walk round Vulcan XL426 and for an additional fee you can climb inside for a guided tour of the Vulcan’s cockpit.
XL426 will be joined by the cockpits of classic jets from the 1960s, '70s and '80s that are preserved by enthusiasts from around the country.
Refreshments will be on sale, so no one will go hungry or thirsty. Our shop will be open selling a selection of Vulcan souvenirs, including models, badges, patches, postcards, books and much more.
Cockpit visits will take place on a timed ticket basis, so there is no need to stand and queue.
Limited free car parking will be available close to the Vulcan. Please follow the ‘Vulcan Open Day’ direction signs after entering the airport.
If the Vulcan car park is full, visitors will need to park in the airport’s short stay car park (for which there is a charge) which is approximately 10 minutes walk from the Vulcan.
Sorry – due to airport rules, we regret that no pets can be admitted with the exception of assistance dogs.
