Avro Vulcan B.2 XL426 at Southend Airport

Saturday December 12th 2020

Avro Vulcan B.2 XL426, known as the 'Southend Vulcan', is owned & operated by the

Vulcan Restoration Trust & lives at Southend Airport.

On the 14th of November 2020 the Vulcan was due to run in front of a very limited number of spectators,

but due to Covid-19 and the second countrywide lockdown, this event was rescheduled to run

on Saturday 12th December 2020.

Fortunately, the weather was reasonable & the event went ahead. Avro Vulcan B.2 XL426 did 2 runs in

the morning in front of one group of spectators & 2 runs in the afternoon, I was fortunate to be in the afternoon group.

This was the first time I'd seen a Vulcan run since the retirement of XH558, which is permanently based at

Robin Hood Airport, Doncaster & of course, is no longer airworthy.

A fabulous few hours being up close & personal with the 'Southend Vulcan'.
