[Trevatanus]

For those interested.
Not a regular U.K. Visitor !

[Scotty2]

East Midlands or Robin Hood?

I hope to be passing the general area and have not seen her in the air yet. Sew her on the ground in Manchester at the last visit. Big Plane!

Perhaps, having read comments on this thread, the Vulcan has been dismantled and is being moved! :-D

Shhhhhhhhh!!!!

Dont't tell everyone!

[Scotty2]

That crossed my mind too!

Bond film plot...

So where?
To add:
Ah... DSAF = Doncaster so Robin Hood.

MMmm Publicising the flight of an aircraft likely to cause a large number of people to visit.

I'm in!

Yes, please don't all travel to Doncaster to see it, in case you disrupt the 2 flights and 30 passengers that may be using the airport!

It's been a few times before. Incredible to watch it take off, seems like it's hardly moving when they rotate.

FYI there's a 124 in tomorrow, bit of a warm up for the 225!

[Scotty2]

What is it they are moving about? Oil and Gas stuff? Aid?

[martin mrt]

If it's going to GYD Baku it will be oil and gas related cargo, I seen it there 2 years ago and I was blown away by the sheer size of it

[Jezzerh]

Date change, it's coming on Tuesday now, due in at 1040. Still due out on Thurs.

[Scotty2]

Still due in at 1040 tomorrow?

I have flask and Anorak packed in readiness....

Oh, must charge camera.


Edit to ad: Bookface page says still Wed 11th not Tues??

Doncaster airport does not list the landing in its schedule as it is cargo.

Yes. My flight out was ten minutes later than it already was thanks for waiting for this thing to land. It's also to big for the taxiways so then we had to wait for it to back track up the runway.....

[Jezzerh]

Back to Weds arrival I think. Bit of a stter as I'm off tomorrow and working bloody weds!! Had an Il-76 in today though, that was worth seeing.

If you register on Dsaf.co.uk you can get all the cargo movements.

[Scotty2]

Right. Flask refilled, Anorak prepared off I go for a 1040 arrival... I hope.

[RobbyJ]

She's over Germany at the moment on her way there soon, eta around 10.30-10.40
