Have they really got a Vulcan there?  I remember being truly amazed by one flying at Farnborough when I was a kid. I have never seen one close up. Must go to the airpark sometime over the weeend

absolutely and a Canberra as well plus few others, sometimes the aircraft are open and you are allowed into the cockpits, the Vulcan is very cramped, especially the AEOp/Nav area, all facing rearwards and NO ejector seats.

I think that one's quite common - there is a good story of a driver flying in to the airport next door to Dony, putting "Donnington" in his sat nav and ending up some distance away before realising his error  ;D

Just been looking at the aeropark website and noticed they only charge £1 entrance fee with children free. I know it's only a static display but surely a quid a visit dosn't even cover staff costs let alone the upkep of the aircraft.
