Lucky enough to fly in one of the VC10s in formation with XH558 in June 2009. I was also stationed at RAF Finningley instructing on Dominies and Hawks between 1992-1995 (adjacent hangars).

If you love iconic aircraft like the Vulcan you must pay a visit. Great atmosphere, and great tour guides, we had Allan . Plenty of facts to keep you interested for the 2 hour tour. Once the tour is finished you can take as many photos as you wish plus there is a souvenir shop for small gifts etc.
Everything about this aircraft is completely awesome. To be in a hangar with it, to be able to walk under it, see up into the crew area and to talk to people who've flown and maintained it, is utterly wonderful. Well worth the entry fee. I just hope when the old bird ends her flying days in Oct, they will allow entry to the cockpit and crew area as well. Not possible when I visited (due to ejector seats being "live"), but it would be the icing on the cake for anyone who loves this icon of British cold war engineering.
Attended a event here for work. A fantastic venue to engage with clients under the backdrop of the magnificent Vulcan Bomber. All the staff were excellent and provided a great experience for all visitors (about 1000) attending. The gift shop was reasonably priced giving the chance to pick up a few interesting mementos.
Dear Vulcan to the sky. Today my wife and I attended a coffee morning in the hanger of XH558. We thoroughly enjoyed our time viewing this amazing aircraft. We would like to mention Danial who took us around the aircraft. Not only was he very knowledgeable but he was also very capable of explaining in a way that was accessible to non-technical people like us. 5 stars to Vulcan to the Sky and 5 stars to Danial. Thank you for a most enjoyable visit.
An amazing experience, and the best bit of our holiday. Spending 2 hours with the Vulcan was truly amazing. The chap who gave the speech was really interesting and the time flew by (sorry for the pun). I would love to come again.
Great experience
A wonderful fun and fact filled tour for young and old alike. As well as THE VULCAN there is a brilliant array of artefacts to view. Staff are all volunteers but as professional as any I have encountered. The ladies tend to enjoy the tours much to their own surprise
