On the tweet it says providing we can keep the area around Doncaster clear we can do more runs and thanks everybody for staying clear.

Wtf? It's in the middle of nowhere hardly causing an inconvenience is it. That one single lane can get chocked up at take off and landing but it's a dead end anyway.


Has there been complaints or something

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.

any viewing points at North Weald?
The airfield will be open for visitors to park up and view the Vulcan.
Marshals will be organising the car parking.

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.

My parents are there at North Weald waiting for the old bird. They have been watching drifting (and flying). They said the viewing area is good (and busy).

Basically just said as long as people play nice at Doncaster they should be able to do more flights (presumably over and above the other to 'final' flights after today!

The official timing have it at Bruntingthorpe at +180 minutes so EMA would be maybe another 15 minutes after that?
