THE VULCAN HERITAGE EXPERIENCE It is 1945, World War Two has ended, and the great Potsdam Conference between the USA, UK and USSR set the scene for deciding the future of defeated Germany. The victorious allies soon found that their different political, 60,000 ANNUAL VISITORS FROM AUTUMN 2022 60,000 ANNUAL VISITORS economic and propaganda viewpoints and the USA’s testing of an atomic bomb created conflict. The standoff which developed became known as The Cold War, with the USA and her allies on one side and the Soviet Union and her allies on the other.

RESCUING THE VULCAN There is a huge emotional attachment to the Vulcan; its appearance at air shows increased attendance by more than 20% and we believe the permanent Vulcan Heritage Experience at VX will have the same heartfelt impact. Vulcan XH558 is a showstopper with incredible, proven, public support. In a testament to its innovative design, Vulcans have performed 60,000 ANNUAL VISITORS FROM AUTUMN 2022 60,000 ANNUAL VISITORS as high altitude and low level nuclear bombers, conventional bombers, maritime reconnaissance aircraft, long range attackers (in the Falklands conflict), and hugely popular display aircraft.

THE GREEN TECHNOLOGY HUB AT VX A world first for aerospace and climate change, the Green Technology Hub at VX will be the only permanent visitor attraction for the aerospace industry’s involvement in climate change. It is up to us to drive the debate with openness and authenticity. 60,000 ANNUAL VISITORS FROM AUTUMN 2022 60,000 ANNUAL VISITORS UK aviation has committed to achieving net zero emissions Solutions can and do exist – and the “The Green Technology Hub has a crucial role to play by by 2035 and climate change law has been extended to cover international aviation.

They, and their parents will recognise the existence of well- paid and exciting careers around aviation and aerospace. The discussion about aerospace and aviation’s part in the current climate change emergency will inspire them to contribute to a zero-emission aviation industry of the future.

We started in February with the 30th anniversary of the Vulcan arriving at Wellesbourne in 1984, the start of ‘655’s second career when the aircraft was bought by businessman Roy Jacobsen with his ambitious plans for the Vulcan to fly on the British and American air show circuits based at Wellesbourne and captained by Joe L’Estrange. Alas, the plans never came to pass, but Roy’s loss was MaPS’ (and therefore all military aircraft enthusiasts’) gain as for 30 years we have been the proud custodians of the world’s only Olympus 301-powered Vulcan able to move (on the ground at least) under its own power. In November, we will be celebrating the 50th anniversary of the ‘birth’ of XM655 at the Avro works in Woodford and Chadderton back in November 1964. Our Vulcan was the third last of 136 manufactured by Avro and for the last thirty years has been the youngest surviving example, although at the ripe old age of 50 ‘young’ is perhaps a relative description.

  • Scholarships and Bursaries to Meet One Another
    The Air League Newsletter Issue 4: July/August 2015 REMEMBERING THE FEW he summer air show season is with us again and with it comes the annual opportunity for the public at large to see close up the equipment and personnel who continue to provide our air defences. The biggest gathering as usual will be at Tthe Royal International Air Tattoo being held at RAF Fairford from July 17-19 which will see international participants from air forces and army and naval air squadrons from all over the world, and also a nostalgic pageant of vintage and classic warbirds representing a century of military aviation. Other air displays will take place in many locations around Great Britain, from Prestwick to Bournemouth as well as at such well-known airfields as Duxford and Old Warden, where newly restored veteran aircraft demonstrate the ongoing enthusiasm and dedication that keeps alive interest in aviation history for the benefit of future generations. The shrinking size of the UK’s own air power is very noticeable at RIAT, where once dozens of operational units proudly displayed their squadron colours to the public. Although this reflects the reality of lost capabilities and depleted numbers, the ethos and professionalism of today’s Few will still feature strongly, thanks to the appearances of the Red Arrows and the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, and various individual aircraft displays. To commemorate the 75th Anniversary of the Battle of Britain a Typhoon of No 29 Squadron has been repainted in the 1940 wartime colour scheme with the identification code of the aircraft flown by Flt Lt James Brindley Nicholson, the only Fighter Command pilot awarded the Victoria Cross during the battle.
