Bruce Dickinson Piloting Bomber Aircraft!

On Saturday August 12th, Iron Maiden fans can get to see singer Bruce Dickinson when he fulfills the life-long dream of getting into an Avro Vulcan bomber aircraft, as the Special Guest of the Vulcan Restoration Trust at Southend Airport, during their Vulcan Restoration Trust Open Day.

Bruce Dickinson is the special guest of the Vulcan Restoration Trust on Saturday 12th August when he can swap his normal Boeing 757 for a Vulcan Bomber. The Vulcan has been at Southend Airport since 1986 and this year the 20th Anniversary of her arrival is being celebrated.

The Avro Vulcan Bomber Aircraft

The Vulcan does not fly but is still in fully live taxiable condition which means that she will accelerate on full deafening power to over 100mph down Southend's runway. The Vulcan is one of Bruce's favourite aircraft and the Vulcan Restoration Trust is delighted to be able to give him the opportunity to take her for a spin!

he taxi-run is, of course, subject to aircraft serviceability.

Gates open 10 am. Cockpit visits all day and many other attractions.
Admission £4 and £2 concessions.

Thanks to the Vulcan Restoration Trust and www.maidenfans.com for the heads up!
