That's fair enough and it might be worthwhile trying to get there early as the Vulcan cockpit access is always a popular draw for the visitors.

It might also be worthwhile having a quick check of this information about our open cockpit arrangements http://www.newarkairmuseum.org/NAM_open_cockpits :thumbs:
