IRON MAIDEN Singer BRUCE DICKINSON To Pilot Bomber Aircraft

July 31, 2006

On Saturday, August 12, IRON MAIDEN fans can get to see singer Bruce Dickinson when he fulfills the life-long dream of getting into an Avro Vulcan bomber aircraft (photo) as the special guest of the Vulcan Restoration Trust at Southend Airport in England during their Vulcan Restoration Trust Open Day.

The Vulcan has been at Southend Airport since 1986 and this year is the 20th anniversary of her arrival is being celebrated.

The Vulcan does not fly but is still in fully live taxiable condition which means that she will accelerate on full deafening power to over 100mph down Southend's runway.

The Vulcan is one of Bruce's favorite aircraft and the Vulcan Restoration Trust is delighted to be able to give him the opportunity to take her for a spin!

The taxi-run is, of course, subject to aircraft serviceability.

Gates open 10 am. Cockpit visits all day and many other attractions. Admission £4 and £2 concessions.
