About The Vulcan and Cold War Experience
Our Vulcan, Phantom and Lightning are three of the Cold War’s most iconic aircraft. Between, them they tell a story of uncertainty and tension that loomed over the world for decades. Cold War ticket holders have special access to these mighty warriors:
- The cockpit of the Avro Vulcan B.2
- The pilot’s seat of the McDonnell Douglas Phantom FGR.2
- A ground crew tour of the BAC Lightning F.6.
Tickets retail at £49.50 per person and we would recommend booking in advance.
The Cold War Experience runs the last Tuesday of every month at the RAF Museum London. Time slots are available from 10.10 am to 12.20 am.
Please arrive at Museum Reception five minutes before your chosen time and head straight to the Vulcan. Our team of Aircraft Access Volunteers will take you through your experience. Each session will last between 45 minutes and an hour. Please ensure you have read our access terms and conditions below before your visit.
Terms and conditions apply. This experience is suitable for people aged 16 and over.
