PRESS RELEASE Last month the Vulcan to the Sky Trust (VTST) shared the news that the City of Doncaster Council (CDC) announced they had signed a lease for the former Doncaster Sheffield Airport, where VTST’s Avro Vulcan B.2 XH558 is located. The lease is for 125 years and CDC noted that “The lease agreement is the first stage in the process to reopen the airport. The next stage is the appointment of an airport operator to manage the operational airport”. The VTST was able to engage in discussions with CDC at an early stage of their management of the site and agreed dates for Vulcan XH558 Tours for the months ahead. The Trust announced those dates to supporters last week and the eight sessions across four event dates sold out in just over an hour. Marc Walters, Chief Executive of VTST, said: “We are pleased to be working with the City of Doncaster Council, as the leaseholders for the airport, and our current landlords to be able to put these events on. “We know how important these tours are to supporters and they sell out very quickly when they are released. We will be adding more dates in the coming months and we look forward to working with the successful company who will eventually reopen the airport as we work to secure our long-term future in Doncaster.” Ahead of visits the engineering team have been working hard on some maintenance and cleaning tasks. You can read about this work in articles written by two of the volunteer team, Dave Hirons and Connor Sykes, on the VTST website.
