About this Event

Join us at our Vulcan Summer Taxi-Run and see Vulcan XL426 blast down the London Southend Airport runway on Saturday 12 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.

Gates will open at 11.30 am.

Arrive early to soak up the atmosphere, view our displays and exhibits and watch XL426 being prepared for the afternoon's event.

Teas, coffees and hot and cold refreshments will be on sale throughout the day.

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