Britain's What's On Event Guide
Vulcan Summer Taxi-Run 2024
Join us at our Vulcan Summer Taxi-Run and see Vulcan XL426 blast down the London Southend Airport runway on Saturday 7 September.
Viewing will be from the Trust's exclusive visitor area in front of its hangar. This will give an uninterrupted view across the airport and unrivalled photographic opportunities.
XL426 will make two taxi-runs down the runway. The second pass will be at high-speed and the Vulcan will then taxi back to the apron area, giving a superb close-up view as the Vulcan taxies in and shuts down her engines.
Arrive early to soak up the atmosphere and watch XL426 being prepared for the afternoon's event.
Teas, coffees and hot and cold refreshments will be on sale throughout the day.
The event is open to the public and Vulcan Restoration Trust (VRT) Members. Numbers are limited and tickets are now on sale.
Why not join the VRT before buying your ticket(s) and take advantage of the discounted Member price as well as receiving the benefits of VRT membership? Visit the VRT website to join.
Children under the age of 6 cannot be admitted. Under-16s must have a ticket and must be accompanied by an Adult ticket holder.
Sorry - we cannot admit any animals, with the exception of assistance dogs, to the event.
We look forward to seeing you at our Vulcan Summer Taxi-Run.
