AVRO 7 Event

Cosford
Shifnal, TF11 8UP

Runway25 are excited to announce their next event in April 2025:

‘An Evening in Conversation,’ with ex Vulcan and Test Pilot, Sqn Ldr Martin Pitt QCVSA.

The event will be hosted in the atmospheric surroundings of the National Cold War Exhibition Hangar at RAF Museum Midlands, Cosford and promises to be another memorable evening building on the success of our previous talks.

Martin will discuss his operational career with 27 Sqn flying Avro Vulcans in the MRR (Maritime Radar Reconnaissance) role hunting down Soviet Naval forces throughout the Atlantic, Baltic and Mediterranean seas.

After an initial career on Vulcans, he applied to the Empire Test Pilot School and was fortunate to win an exchange position at EPNER – the French Military Test Pilot School equivalent – where he flew such types as the Dassault Mirage III and Fouga CM170 Magister.
