VTTS have announced how long after takeoff the various waypoints should be reached - but have yet to confirm takeoff times

I noticed that too

Even a rough takeoff time within an hour would be helpful for those needing to travel to see her, or to fit her in with other commitments and activities - a bit crap organisation really

Could someone please post the times or a link to them for tomorrow's North Tour - my newsletter hasn't arrived as works email server no worky .

Thanks

Missing take off times? Or is it me. I have 145 minutes after take off.

Thanks Riley Blue .I think a day at Cosford tomorrow sounds good .

Ok , I can see that it aims to be at Newark +200 mins after take off, just need to know what time take off is on Sun

Already noted - look 3 posts above

Just re read the main page. Do not have a smart phone, curses. Will have to take a packed lunch and, erm, a "lucozade" bottle.

A chap at work bought tickets for Woodford and has been told by the museum to expect XH558 at approx. 3pm.

Severn bridges is looking an option. The old bridge has a footpath along it......

I'm aiming for Black Rock not far from Sudbrook. Not too far too walk and good view between the two bridges.

They seem to be aiming for a 12:45 take-off on Sunday based on the map timings and the announced ETAs from various airfields in the south.

Think I'll be cycling a nice 50 mile scenic route up to Carlisle airport tomorrow for the flypast. Latest update says 70 minutes after takeoff, and Solway Aviation Museum put on their facebook page that they're expecting XH558 at 1420, so I guess takeoff must be planned to be 1300ish. Planning to get there an hour early just in case though - as VTTS have at least confirmed that both flights will take place in the afternoon!

As an aside, I believe that another PHer I know signed off the safety case for her to be allowed to be flown again by VTTS.

My local paper were reporting the same time for that location so can't have come from nowhere

My son's girlfriend lives 10 minutes walk from the end of Warton runway, so I'm planning on parking at their house and walking the rest of the way

As long as we get decent notification of takeoff, then the 115 minutes before she gets there should be ample for me to drive from home ( Thornton north of Blackpool )

Hmmmmm.......so about 2.15 at Farnborough then.

[cammy33]

Has there been times confirmed, particularly East Fortune?

[surveyor]

I'm curious on times... Just worked out I've got to drive past the end of Robin Hood runway tomorrow lunchtime.
