Vulcan Twilight Taxi-Run 2024

Join us as the sun sets at London Southend Airport on Saturday 18 May for our Vulcan Twilight Taxi-Run.

Our exclusive visitors enclosure gives uninterrupted views across the airport, ideal for the Vulcan enthusiast and photographers.

XL426 will carry out two taxi-runs, the second pass at high-speed, as the sun dips below the horizon. The Vulcan will then taxi back to shut down engines in front of the enclosure.

Arrive from 6.00 pm to soak up the atmosphere and see XL426 being prepared for the evening's event. Engine start is scheduled for 8.30 pm.

Teas and coffees will be on sale throughout the evening and there will be a licensed bar.

The event is open to the public and Vulcan Restoration Trust (VRT) Members. Numbers are limited and tickets are now on sale. Prices are as follows:

Public Adult: £50.00; VRT Member Adult: £25.00; Under-16 (must be over 6 years of age): £15.00.
