I thought we were due a flypast by the old girl at either RIAT or another show?

After the Vulcan which I have been lucky to see a few times, I'd love to see and hear a Constellation fly or preferably take off at dusk to see the exhaust flames!

Anyone know what happened?

They damaged an engine and had to order an overhauled engine from the states. Still not flying and won't be until August I don't think..

It's due to do a low level flypast on Saturday the 4th August in Geneva ]16:00hrs local] and the event programme hasn't been updated to the contrary...

Any update on the repairs or is there any other source of information to keep an eye on?
