Britain's What's On Event Guide
Visit the Vulcan on Father's Day
Visit the Vulcan on Fathers' Day is a great time out for Dad on his special day. He can get a close-up look at Vulcan XL426 in its hangar and for an additional fee can climb inside for a guided tour of the cockpit.
Alongside the Vulcan, there will be examples of the weapons it carried during its time with the Royal Air Force, including the type of 1,000 lb high explosive bomb the Vulcan force used against Port Stanley airfield during the 1982 Falklands Conflict.
In the display arena, the Essex Mini Owners Club and the South Eastern Vintage & Classic Car Club will be bringing along a total of 30 classic cars for everyone to enjoy.
Other displays will include: the 10th Essex Living History Group, the Great War Living History Group, Shoeburyness & South Essex Royal Artillery Association, the Southend Radio Control Model Flying Club, Military Land Rovers, British Army tanks and armoured vehicles and historic fire engines.
The Rayleigh Brass Band will be playing music throughout the day.
Please note that the fly past by a Spitfire from the Royal Air Force Battle of Britain Memorial Flight previously advertised will not now take place.
Refreshments will be on sale, including a licensed bar.
The Vulcan Restoration Trust's Hangar Shop will be selling a selection of Vulcan souvenirs, including models, badges, patches, books and much more.
Cockpit visits will take place every 15 minutes on a timed ticket basis, so there will be no need to stand and queue. Cockpit visit tickets are subject to availability and will only be on sale on the day. When they’re gone, they’re gone!
Children must be over 1 metre tall to visit the cockpit and must climb the entry ladder themselves (no carrying).
Sorry – due to airport rules, no pets can be admitted with the exception of assistance dogs.
Car Parking - limited free car parking will be available close to the Vulcan.
