UP AN’ AT ‘EM! HISTORY are running a unique experience day at London Southend Airport in conjunction with the Vulcan Restoration trust so that YOU can become a Vulcan crew member for the day!
The event gives you a fantastic hands-on experience as you not only discover the history of the Vulcan but get kitted out in authentic equipment as crews would have worn during the Falklands War!
From flying helmets to flying suits, you’ll get your briefing for the Black Buck mission before boarding the aircraft and finding out what it was like inside…
Take home a free photo from the day from the pilot’s seat as a great souvenir!
