Looks like Cosford will be a bit of a washout at the moment. Already had some cancellations too.

Cheers. Not sure I'll be back in time but I'm out and about in the car I'm might swing by. Possibly make the landing.

I'm tempted but looking at the weather, I'm having second thoughts.

Changed my vantage point this afternoon, the back garden wasn't an option due to it landing at the other end.

Poor photo as I'd set the camera up for video.

You must have been stood within a few feet of me.

If you noticed a fat powerfully built guy with a strange looking dog that was me

Dissapointed that it just landed. Last time I saw it t did a fly by.

Didn't see you mate or I'd have said Hi. I was in the Elise, one of the first cars in that row of people.

Appeared over the showground with virtually no warning, if it had been the flypast I'd probably have missed it, however it turned into a mini-display.



Lovely to see and hear again.

Sad to see the Vulcan for the last time in Cheshire.
Looking and sounding amazing.

Ahh I was in my own little world but wouldn't have recognised you.

Reg is meant to be G LOTUS, it came with the car not something I'd have bought.

Booked tickets tonight for her last ever flight on the Sunday at Wings and Wheels Dunsfold.
So what is the betting on the rumours that she'll go out in style by repeating Farnborough 55?

probably zero!
I've heard that if they roll her the pilot will loose his license to fly, Withers is retiring but when ever he flies her it's dull, Kev how ever knows how to chuck her around but I think he wants to keep his license for a few more years
