John LeBrun AFC

In early November 2025 the museum received the sad news that John LeBrun AFC had passed away. John was a former Vulcan QFI (Qualified Flying Instructor), a valued member of our cockpit opening team and in recent years an ever present source of Vulcan knowledge for people visiting our XM594. Shortly after John had passed away, his wife Carole also passed away after a short spell in hospital.

We have been asked to share the following funeral announcement, with museum volunteers, staff and former Vulcan personnel who knew John and Carole.

A simple funeral will be held at the Lincoln Crematorium, East Chapel, Washingborough Road, Lincoln, LN4 1EF, on Thursday 18th December 2025 at 1.30 pm.

No Flowers by request.

Donations if you wish to donate will be shared between the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra and the Newark Air Museum.

A Webcast will be available: Login PIN 696-7247

Our condolences go out to Carole and John’s family and we will use this space to advise of any updates should they arise.

Blue skies to Carole and John.

The accompanying picture of John was taken at the museum in May this year. He is pictured with two of the types that he flew; the North American Harvard and the mighty Avro Vulcan.
