**Vertical Aerospace Ltd.**

We have been asked to provide this legal opinion to you with regard to the laws of the Cayman Islands in connection with the registration, under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "**Securities Act**") and pursuant to the terms of the Registration Statement (as defined in Schedule 1), of 16,757,204 additional ordinary shares with a par value of US$0.001 per share in the capital of the Company (the "**Ordinary Shares**") for issuance under the Amended and Restated Vertical Aerospace Ltd. 2021 Incentive Award Plan (the "**A&R Plan**").

For the purposes of giving this opinion, we have examined and relied upon the originals and copies of the documents listed in Schedule 1.

In giving this opinion we have relied upon the assumptions set out in Schedule 2, which we have not independently verified.

We are Cayman Islands Attorneys at Law and express no opinion as to any laws other than the laws of the Cayman Islands in force and as interpreted at the date of this opinion. We have not, for the purposes of this opinion, made any investigation of the laws, rules or regulations of any other jurisdiction. Except as explicitly stated herein, we express no opinion in relation to any representation or warranty contained in the A&R Plan nor upon matters of fact or the commercial terms of the transactions contemplated by the A&R Plan.

Based upon the foregoing examinations and assumptions and the assumptions and qualifications set out below and having regard to legal considerations which we consider relevant, and under the laws of the Cayman Islands, as at the date hereof, we give the following opinions in relation to the matters set out below.

1. The Company is an exempted company duly incorporated with limited liability, validly existing under the
laws of the Cayman Islands and in good standing with the Registrar of Companies in the Cayman Islands (the "**Registrar** ").

**Walkers**

2. The Ordinary Shares to be issued by the Company as contemplated by the Registration Statement, have been
duly authorised by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and upon the issue of the Ordinary Shares (by the entry of the name
of the registered owner thereof in the Register of Members of the Company confirming that such Ordinary Shares have been issued and credited
as fully paid), delivery and payment therefor by the purchaser in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles (as defined in Schedule
1)and the A&R Plan and in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement, the Ordinary Shares will be validly issued, fully
paid and non-assessable.

The foregoing opinions are given based on the following assumptions.

1. The originals of all documents examined in connection with this opinion are authentic. The signatures,
initials and seals on a document or are, or will be, genuine and are, or will be, those of a person or persons with power to execute those
documents or agreements. All documents purporting to be sealed have been, or will be, so sealed. All copies are complete and conform to
their originals. The Documents when executed will conform in every material respect to the latest drafts of the same produced to us prior
to the date hereof and, where provided in successive drafts, have been marked up to indicate all changes to such Documents.

2. The Memorandum and Articles will be the memorandum and articles of association of the Company in effect
at the time of the issue of the Ordinary Shares.

3. Information contained in the Registration Statement and all other documents reviewed by us is true and
correct.

4. At the time of the issuance of the Ordinary Shares, the Company will have sufficient authorised and unissued
share capital available in order to issue the Ordinary Shares.

5. The Company will offer, issue and sell the Ordinary Shares in the manner contemplated by the Documents
and otherwise in compliance with all applicable United States federal and state securities laws.

6. We have relied upon the statements and representations of directors, officers and other representatives
of the Company as to factual matters.

7. The Company Records (as defined in Schedule 1) are complete and accurate and all matters required by law
and the Memorandum and Articles of Association to be recorded therein are completely and accurately so recorded.

8. The Company will receive consideration in money or money's worth for each Ordinary Share offered
by the Company when issued at the agreed issue price as per the terms of the Registration Statement and the A&R Plan, such price in
any event not being less than the stated par or nominal value of each Ordinary Share.

9. Each of the Registration Statement and the A&R Plan (including each award agreement issued pursuant
thereto)t has been or will be duly authorised (other than by the Company with regard to the laws of the Cayman Islands), executed and
delivered by or on behalf of all relevant parties and will constitute legal, valid, binding and enforceable obligations against all relevant
parties in accordance with their terms.

10. The Board Resolutions have been duly executed by or on behalf of each director of the Company and the
signatures and initials thereon are those of a person or persons in whose name the Resolutions have been expressed to be signed. The Resolutions
and any power of attorney given by the Company to execute any of the Documents (as applicable) will remain in force and effect and have
not been and will not be revoked or varied. The Member Resolutions were duly adopted at a duly convened meeting of the members of the
Company and such meeting was held and conducted in accordance with the Memorandum and Articles.

11. All preconditions to the issue of the Ordinary Shares under the terms of the A&R Plan will be satisfied
or duly waived prior to the issuance of the Ordinary Shares and there will be no breach of the terms of the A&R Plan.

12. There are no records of the Company (other than the records referred to in Schedule 1), agreements, documents
or arrangements other than the documents expressly referred to herein which restrict the powers and authority of the directors of the
Company in any way or which would affect any opinion given herein.

13. There is nothing under any law (other than the laws of the Cayman
Islands) which would or might affect the opinions set out herein.

14. In this opinion letter the phrase "non-assessable" means,
with respect to the issuance of shares, that a shareholder shall not, solely by virtue of its status as a shareholder, be liable for additional
assessments or calls on shares of the Company or its creditors (except in exceptional circumstances, such as involving fraud, the establishment
of an agency relationship or an illegal or improper purpose or other circumstances in which a court may be prepared to pierce or lift
the corporate veil).

Our opinion as to good standing is based solely upon receipt of the Certificate of Good Standing issued by the Registrar. The Company shall be deemed to be in good standing under section 200A of the Companies Act (as amended) of the Cayman Islands (the "**Companies Act**") on the date of issue of the certificate if all fees and penalties under the Companies Act have been paid and the Registrar has no knowledge that the Company is in default under the Companies Act.

This opinion is limited to the matters referred to herein and shall not be construed as extending to any other matter or document not referred to herein. This opinion is given solely for your benefit and the benefit of your legal advisers acting in that capacity in relation to this transaction and may not be relied upon by any other person without our prior written consent.

This opinion shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands.

We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement and to the references to our firm, as Cayman Islands counsel to the Company, in the Registration Statement.

Yours faithfully

Walkers (Cayman) LLP
