It is with great pleasure we announce - HANGAR TOURS ARE NOW POSSIBLE!
On behalf of VTST, the Vulcan Engineers at RAF Lyneham have been negotiating with the Unit to allow limited public access at weekends and can announce that, by kind permission from the Station Commander, these visits will commence on Sunday 7th Feb. There will be 2 organised tours on the 7th, one at 12:00 and one at 13:30. The tour round the aircraft will last approximately 1 hour. Personnel interested in booking a place on one of the tours are asked to contact Toni Hunter by e-mail at
[email protected] or by phone on 07957 161192.
Bookings will be taken up to Wednesday afternoon and thereafter the list will be closed. This is so that the necessary administration and documentation can be completed in time for the visit.
Due to strict security requirements, private vehicles will not be allowed onto the unit but a minibus will be provided from a free car park nearby. There are a limited number of places on each tour and places will be allocated on a strictly first come first served basis. Applicants will be contacted by e-mail confirming their booking and further information will be given which they will need prior to arrival.
It is hoped that if these tours are a success, then they will continue for the foreseeable future and as many people who wish to do so will have the opportunity to see XH558 up close and personal.
Many thanks.
