If you enjoyed Paul Mulcahy and Martin Wither’s superb feature about flying the Vulcan in the October issue of FLYER, then you might want to pay a visit to Coventry Airfield this weekend to see the aircraft as it flies in as part of the fundraising fly in to raise money for Help for Heroes.
“It is appropriate that even as the Vulcan quite possibly approaches the end of its flying days, it is still coming to the service of fallen comrades. Funding issues mean that the likelihood of XH558 ever flying again has been seriously cast into doubt, and the crowds coming to the Fly-in may well be witnesses to the final moment of an aviation era,” said Sir Peter Rigby, Chairman of Patriot Aerospace, owner of Coventry Airport.
Further aircraft taking part in the fly-in include a Tornado, the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight, a Douglas DC-3 and Vampire T.11., and many other modern day jets, helicopters and classic flights. <a href=”http://www.flyincoventryairport.com”>Click here for more</a>
