Please put the following dates in your diaries:
Sunday 27th April
Sunday 29th June
Sunday 3rd August
Sunday 21st September
Adult £1.50; Children Free if accompanied
Cockpit visits £2.00 flat rate.*
VRT Members are, of course, free.
Gates open at 10.00 a.m. and last admission is 4.00 p.m.
A number of VRT team members will be around the Vulcan ready and willing to chat to you and answer any questions you may have.
You'll be able to see the progress of the 'Return to Power' program, with various bits of the airframe probably missing during one open day, but back in place the next. I hope it will be worth your while making multiple visits, and obviously we'll be grateful for the funds.
We hope to have additional attractions at each event, and there will be the VRT sales stalls, and displays etc.
The 'Aviators' club near XL426 will be open to all, and offers a wide range of food and drink, plus toilets!
*We run a timed ticketing system for the cockpit visits due to the lack of room up there. During busy periods there could be long waiting times, so it's advisable to make your way to the girls at the cockpit entrance as soon as you enter the arena to purchase your timed tickets. That way you can take in some of the other attractions until your alloted visit time arrives.
Hopefully there'll be various movements on the airport too, as you'll get great views from the Vulcan area.
