Why should you sponsor?

The story started with the world’s most ambitious and complex technical restoration project, an award-winning aspiration to return one of the world’s most iconic aircraft to the skies, Vulcan XH558.

The Vulcan to the Sky Trust is a charity committed to preserving and protecting two of the most iconic aircraft in British history, Avro Vulcan XH558 and English Electric Canberra WK163. These aircraft types played integral roles in the advancement of aviation and engineering technologies.

While the Vulcan is no longer allowed to fly, our primary goal is to inspire the public with this remarkable aircraft’s history and legacy. The Trust’s aims are to tell the story of the RAF, its people and the Cold War based around the V-Force and the famous Avro Vulcan XH558, and to inspire future generations to help maintain the United Kingdom’s historic role at the forefront of innovation in aviation.

In addition, we plan to return another significant heritage aircraft to flying condition, English Electric Canberra WK163. It is one of Britain’s most important jet-age aircraft, which shot into the headlines around the world in 1957 when it set a new world altitude record.

We believe that education is vital to preserving British heritage and historical knowledge. We are committed to advancing public education towards aviation and engineering heritage, and the associated social and historical contexts. We also provide access to engineering demonstrations and practical activities to promote technical knowledge and engineering skills.

As part of British heritage, we are proud to be preserving history and inspiring future generations of engineers, technicians, and aviation enthusiasts.
