Waited on the footpath just south of Old Warden near Broom, facing north. Very glad I did as the low sun at half 4 illuminated the old girl beautifully.

I've seen her fly at various shows over the past few years, but I wanted to make sure that my young daughter was given the chance to have the howl etched into her memory smile

Awesome show at shuttleworth today and her final display bought a lump in my throat. Set of a few car alarms and that howl seemed particularly loud this time, farewell old girl. ...

Saw it heading home over Grantham this afternoon, it did a steep climb above Grantham and then did a steep bank towards the north west. Absolutely beautiful sight and didn't expect it as was out taking the dogs.

Parked up at a friend's and walked over the fields to get a good view of Shuttleworth. Fantastic sight!

Some people saying it was rolled over Grantham https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=XIVtWN7cgso&feat... difficult to say from the stills but its certainly close!

Was coming up the Fosse Way this afternoon about 4pm in the coventry area when it flew past, straight and level at around 300 ft I would guess.

I thought they were going to barrel roll it at shuttleworth. The left hand wing tip went past vertical that's for certain. It's at the end of the video a couple of posts previously.

I was positioned at the red arrow, the blue arrow indicates where the college had put up a sign stating that persons proceeding beyond that point would be charged £28 each for 'airshow admission' (and trespassers would be prosecuted none the less!).

All in all a desperate attempt to keep the peasants out...shame it's a public bridleway all the way to the bridge (where it turns left (South) towards Southill. smile

Hehe yeah I saw that sign on the way in.

On the plus side, the traffic management was in a different league to Old Sarum a few weeks ago.
