Vulcan Visit 2015
Discussion
In process of setting up a visit for the club to Vulcan XM655 on display at Wellesbourne Mountford Airport in Warwickshire.
Have provisionally set a date of Saturday 2nd May 2015 with the organisers.
The visit will be £10.00 per person and will include the following:-
- Systems Demonstration - Subject to serviceability on the day
- Navigation lights, Anti Collision and landing lights, bomb bay doors cycle, the operation of air brakes and control surfaces (elevons and rudder).
- A tour of XM655 including a visit to the cockpit – in groups of 4 with one of our volunteers.
- Parts of XM655 open for viewing. E.G. Bomb bay doors, ECM (Electronic Counter Measures) bay, an engine bay door.
- A DVD of XM655 to watch
Tea, coffee and merchandise are also available paid for individually.
There is a possibility of a photo shoot with the cars laid out in front of XM655, however as Wellesbourne is an active airfield it cannot be guaranteed. We will not know until the day of the visit as it depends on which way the runway is being used and the way the wind is blowing on the day.
Here is the website for more info http://www.xm655.com/
I am not sure whether there are any limitations on numbers I will need to confirm this. But suggest we start a list of interested members. So add your names here...

It's a bit of a treak for me considering XL426 is only 5 mins up the road from where I live and I'm a member.
If there is an interest in this, and I'll be watching your thread with interest, I may approach the Vulcan Trust at Southend and see if they can do anything similar.
Great idea tho
