RAF Vulcan Experience: London

at The Royal Air Force Museum London
London Available until Thu 31 Dec

Discover the rich history of the Royal Air Force at the Royal Air Force Museum London & enjoy the Vulcan Experience!

At the RAF Museum London, visitors don’t just see history, they stand beneath one of the most extraordinary aircraft ever built. The mighty Avro Vulcan, a Cold War icon with a wingspan that dominates the hangar, invites guests into a world of power, precision, and incredible British engineering.

Highlights of The Vulcan Experience:

  • You'll have an exclusive opportunity to explore two of the Cold War's most iconic aircraft: the Avro Vulcan B2 and the McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR2
  • These aircraft tell a compelling story of the uncertainty and tension that defined the era. You'll gain special access to both, allowing you to climb into the cockpit of the Vulcan and sit in the pilot's seat of the Phantom. This is a rare chance to experience what it was like to fly these legendary planes
  • Receive a comprehensive behind-the-barriers ground tour. You'll get up close to other significant Cold War aircraft, including the BAC Lightning F6, the Handley Page Victor K2, and the English Electric Canberra PR3. You'll also hear fascinating real-life stories from the people who flew these remarkable machines

Whether guests arrive knowing everything about the Vulcan or absolutely nothing, the experience pulls them straight into its powerful presence. It’s dramatic. It’s educational. It’s eye‑opening. And it makes the perfect highlight to any visit to the RAF Museum London.
