The Vulcan to the Sky Trust, Doncaster, England, has announced the final opportunities for visitors to tour Avro Vulcan XH558 in 2026, with a series of Airside and Underwing experiences scheduled between November and December at Doncaster Sheffield Airport. The tours will provide supporters and aviation enthusiasts with one last chance this year to get up close to the world’s only airworthy Vulcan preserved in taxiable condition before the 2026 season comes to a close.
Two tour options are available. The more comprehensive Airside Tour, priced at ÂŁ25 per person, allows visitors to walk beneath the Vulcan’s distinctive delta wing, view the thousands of names displayed beneath the aircraft, speak with volunteer engineers, and spend time inside the cockpit while learning about the aircraft from members of the restoration team. Guests will also be able to see the Names in the Cockpit tribute. The Underwing Tour, priced at ÂŁ15 per person, offers visitors the opportunity to walk beneath the aircraft and meet volunteers who help maintain XH558, while learning more about the ongoing preservation effort.
