XH558 will be flying by me in 2 weeks at Rhyl Airshow and it's a free to attend event, if you've never been its a great display and a huge effort put in every year as with all displays. Below is a link to a rundown of display times and days;

Anyone know the timings for XH558 at Shoreham over the weekend?
Not sure whether to go to the whole show or just find a decent place to see the Vulcan.
Debating whether to go on Saturday (when the weather is likely to be much better) or Sunday (when I expect the crowds / traffic will be less)?
Any suggested sites to view from if I don't actually attend the full show?

I be heading to mill hill for Saturday then into the show for Sunday . you can also view from lancing hill near the collage , but to be honest the planes do not seem to pass over head over lancing hill so much as they use to . also down by the river can be ok too .

"Eye witnesses reported seeing the aircraft get into difficulties shortly after taking off the from the grass air strip.

Reports about the Hunter down at Shoreham are from those watching Planes TV live where people have reported a Hunter (or Hawk?) failed to pull out of a dive - and the live feed was then cut.
Planes TV is back on but there's no mention being made.
