Vulcan and Lancaster flypast is splitting at Marham. They will fly separately to/and display separately at Clacton.

The Vulcan should be heading back to Doncaster, the Lancasters and BBMF fighters will be landing at Southend around 1530.

Does anyone have a live video of today's event?
I'm following XH588 on Twitter where they are uploading stills.

All I could get after sprinting in for the camera - knew she'd be out today but didn't think it would be on our side of the A15.
Very low. awesome!

I am looking forward to seeing the old dear briefly at Little Gransden tomorrow (I wish it was a display and not a flypast), it has been a few years.

I maybe near there tomorrow enroute to somewhere else, any idea what time '558 is due to make it's flypast as I might make be able to make a slight detour to get near-ish to stop off for 5 mins to see her?

From twitter:
Thank you for watching today. 'Tune in' from about 11:00 tomorrow for the latest news on departure, display and return times.

They have also mentioned the flypast is on their way back to base, so I guess after 4:30pm.

last night while surfing youtube I found 'Britains cold war jets'

Part 2 is all about V bombers, they had the footage of the Vulcan doing its first display at farnborough. 50ft (or lower!) down the runway and then the famous barrel roll! Was very nostalgic and if you havent seen it i'd recommend!
Thankyou! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZcbcQv98eg

This photo is epic - where was it taken? It is doing the rounds on Facebook & some are saying it has been faked or turned round somehow.

Looks real to me although I thought that they had decided to hold back on the displays.

Probably Kev Rumins at the helm, he seems to chuck her about abit more than the other pilots

It's not faked, though the angle flatters it. She's actually 45deg off inverted. Was amazing to watch though, even from about 10 miles away.
