Trip to see the Avro Vulcan - Saturday December 14th

[chrisb71]

Good evening all,

This coming Saturday I've arranged for members of the BMW Car Club (GB) and other friends with interesting/classic cars to have an escorted trip around the hangar at Robin Hood airport to see the wonderful Avro Vulcan having it's winter service. This is a fantastic opportunity to see one of this countries icons up close and personal and talk to some of the people that serviced and flew her.

Here are the instructions to book tickets.

The itinerary for this very special day comprises:

10:00 – 11:00 – Arrival and parking in the hangar car park. Bacon sandwiches, tea / coffee / soft drinks served inside the hangar with time to wander around the aircraft and displays

11:00 – 12:00 – guided tour of XH558 with one of the Trust’s specialist guides

12:00 – 14:00 – More time to wander around the cars and the aircraft, meet members of the Vulcan team, explore the displays of Vulcan history (including some fascinating Falklands War items from the pilot’s private collections) and view and buy merchandise

14:00 – Event closes

Due to the restrictions set by the airport, and hangar capacity, this meet is only open to a maximum of 70 cars and 140 people. Normally we would ask you to add names to a list to reserve a space, but for this meet we need you to sign up directly on the XH558 page where a payment (along with some personal details) are required to secure your place on a first come, first served basis.

Charges are

£25 per car and driver, plus
£15 per passenger

All profits raised from this visit will be used to support XH558 during the 2014 display season – the flying calendar is still being negotiated with airshow organisers and will be updated here as new events are agreed.

I'm very excited about this extraordinary meet and look forward to meeting 140 of you on the day. Places for cars are strictly limited to 70. Thanks again to everyone who was involved in making this happen.

I look forward to seeing you there.
