Quite disappointing flight path she took over Grafham Water. Just clipping the edge of the resevoir. Whilst hundreds of people crowded along the dam.

It went well to the east of where I was on the Hogsback and I missed it although a mate caught a glimpse of it in the distance

Just got back from Bristol airport. She arrived low and smokey from the east turned around and then passed right over us at the end of runway 09. She circled around a couple of miles away for a while with a chase plane in pursuit; apparently over Clifton for photos with the bridge.

I would say a good few hundred of people there.

+1 for North Weald. Stunning.

Full marks to NW staff who directed hundreds of cars in to park along the runway…

AND DIDN'T CHARGE A PENNY.

North Weald was the place to be, flew to the south west of the airfield, then banked in for a South to North flypast, with a bank to the right before heading towards Gravesend smile

Great flypast over Bicester heritage. Thanks to them for opening the airfield so people could park.

Wish I had gone to North Weald now. My parents who went said it was better than Gaydon last week. They were surprised at the amount of people in the car parks, road and fields today.

Never underestimate the Vulcan effect.

Google map traffic already showing bad traffic around my local visiting point. That is just for s flyby. Started around an hour ago, expected over this point around 15:15. I can just imagine what it would be like up there.
I went passed at 4pm yesterday. I believe it landed at approx 4:30 very quiet. Didn't look down the lane.

Finingly airport is surrounded by field and a couple of quiet roads. There are plenty of places to park a car one small roundabout might be a pinch point but I've never seen a problem there.
Stupid bloody goole maps. Got there and it was deserted.

Ignore me.

She did I nice pass over Farnborough. Superb view from the work car park roof...







Climbing out for the final time which was quite sad...



Pictures are not the greatest but I was too busy enjoying the view to worry.

Unfortunately she didn't do the way point turn between the Severn Bridges and instead flew straight from Portishead towards Cardiff. Several hundred people watching from Black Rock got to see a very small shape South of the 2nd crossing.
