How YOU can help XH558

Become a Major Sponsor

The opportunity to sponsor XH558 is truly unique. The nation has a huge affection for '558, or 'Delta Lady' as she is often referred to, and press and media interest is enormous. It is anticipated that the Vulcan will be seen be around 3 million people in 2009. Sponsorship of the Vulcan will allow your business to be associated with the VTST's Education Programme which aims to teach young people about the history of the Vulcan and the Cold War, and also inspire them in technology and engineering.

Major sponsorship packages include a full day with The Blades aerobatic display team and four flights alongside XH558. Download the Commercial Sponsorship Guide here. Please see the VTST Sponsorship Page for details.
