The Vulcan Restoration Trust is holding four ‘VRT Enthusiasts Events’ during 2008. A guest speaker, with ‘big-screen’ visual projection to support and add interest to the talking, headlines each event. The meeting will also include engineering updates on ‘The Southend Vulcan’ XL426, and the Trust as a whole. The VRT’s sales stand will be in attendance selling a multitude of merchandise. Teas, coffees and light refreshments are available all afternoon, as is a licensed bar. These events are very friendly and sociable events, as well as being informative and entertaining.
The first two events of 2008 were a great success, and we expect the remaining ones to continue this trend.
Saturday 26 July: Guest speaker – Wing Commander WA ‘Robby’ Robinson. We are thrilled to welcome famous test pilot, author and speaker ‘Robby’ Robinson who will be talking to us about his time with A V Roe & Co (Avro) at Woodford on the Nimrod and Vulcan. Not to be missed! Robby will also be signing some of his highly acclaimed books on the day so bring your wallet!


Admission to each event is free for VRT Members, with a suggested donation of £4.00 for non-members.
Start time is 12.00, with the entertainment beginning at 1.00pm.
The Events take place at Hawkwell Village Hall, Main Road, Hockley, Essex, SS5 4EH
