Our Visit the Vulcan Day Classic Jet Day on 22 August is a great opportunity to get ‘up close and personal’ with Vulcan XL426 and other classic jets at London Southend Airport.

For an additional fee you can climb inside the Vulcan for a guided tour of the cockpit.

XL426 will be taking to the London Southend Airport runway once again at our second taxi-run event of the year on 11 September.

Come along and hear XL426's Olympus engines howl and full power and see the Vulcan's brake parachute bring XL426 to a halt.

Tickets are on now on sale.

Secret Cinema at the Vulcan

Saturday 25 September 2021

Secret Cinema at the Vulcan is back with a unique screening of the 1969 classic 'Battle of Britain'.

Southend Airport (then RAF Rochford) was a Battle of Britain airfield, so this a unique opportunity to watch the film at a historic location.
