About

Vulcan XL426 will carry out two taxi-runs on the Southend Airport runway. The second run will be a high-speed pass. Visitors will have an uninterrupted view across the airport from our exclusive viewing area.

The event includes a big screen showing of the TV docudrama 'Falklands' Most Daring Raid' in association with the 2022 Southend Film Festival.

After shutting down its engines right next to the viewing area, the Vulcan will be lit up and joined by period re-enactors for a special photo opportunity.
