Vulcan XL426 Summer Taxi-Run 2023

Join us at our Summer 2023 Taxi-Run and see Vulcan XL426 blast down the London Southend Airport runway on Saturday 16 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 XL426 will deploy her brake parachute (subject to serviceability). XL426 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 and the taxi-run will start at 1.00 pm.

Attendance is 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.
