Our 2019 Legends of the Air Prize Draw was made at our Christmas Event and Buffet on 30 November, with the winning tickets drawn by our guest speaker on the day, Squadron Leader Joe Marsden.
First prize was a seat on board Vulcan XL426 on a taxi-run at London Southend Airport.
The Mayor of Southend-on-Sea, Derek Jarvis, and Mayoress, Valerie Jarvis, together with other Southend Council dignitaries visited XL426 on 2 April.
They spent time viewing the iconic bomber and toured the Trust's workshops, where a replacement engine is in the final stages of being readied to be installed in the Vulcan.
XL426 carried out two successful taxi-runs at London Southend Airport on the afternoon of 8 December 2018.
The runs were part of an engineering exercise and the event was not open to the public, although some lucky enthusiasts in the airport car parks got a good view of XL426 as she taxied towards Southend's runway follwoing start-up on the airport's main apron.
