Vulcan VIP Visits
Vulcan VIP Visits are your opportunity to experience XL426 in her hangar at London Southend Airport away from the crowds and are ideal for enthusiasts and photographers.
VIP Visitors are given a guided tour of XL426, including the cockpit.
You will spend approximately 30 minutes inside XL426's cockpit. Due to aircraft engineering works possibly taking place on the day of your visit, the Vulcan's cockpit canopy and the front and/or rear crew seats may have been removed.
Outside the cockpit, VIP Visitors will be able to meet the Trust’s engineering team and learn more about their work maintaining and restoring XL426.
The tour includes a look behind the scenes to see the workshops and engineering activites not normally seen by the public, giving a truly close-up view of the mighty delta’s inner workings and the work involved to maintain this British and Cold War aviation icon.
Arrival for each Vulcan VIP Visit is from 9.00 am for a prompt start at 9.30 am. Each visit lasts approximately four hours and must be booked in advance. All VIP Visitors must be aged 16 or over.
The maximum number of visitors on each visit is limited to 10.
Each Vulcan VIP Visit includes a welcome presentation with complimentary tea, coffee and biscuits.
Afterwards a selection of Vulcan souvenirs will be available to buy from our Hangar Shop as a memento of your time with us.
