the annual " Visit the Vulcan Day". 2025

tSunday 28th September 2025 and 240 FLM once again made its way down to SE Essex and the annual "Visit the Vulcan Day" at Southend Airport.
Leaving Romford just before 0800, the team had a clear run around the Gallows Corner Diversion which has been causing somewhat of a challenge to all drivers, particularly on weekdays!
On arrival the appliance was sited by the organisers next to the main hanger, and for a change, it was decided to have the ladders extended.
A frantic phone call quickly arrived at the organisers office from Air Traffic Control, saying the were not happy with the "crane", although it was below the height of the hanger roof.
The ladders were quickly brought down and housed and happiness and calm returned to the event.
A steady stream of people enjoyed the static displays, the Vulcan Bomber and the other preserved vehicles on show, and the weather remained dry !!
The organisers were extremely grateful and extended an immediate invitation to return again next year!.
