I don't suppose anyone knows the flying times for the Battle of Britain Memorial Flight at Eastbourne over the next 4 days? I've hunted the internet and can't seem to find the info anywhere!

Does anyone know what sort of flight path the Vulcan will take there?

Im going to miss the show but was hoping to catch a glimpse of it.

Not sure if this is chronological order or of help or not.

Hopefully better for Saturday and Sunday - we are heading down for the weekend, camping with a 6mth old baby. We have decided to give Friday night a swerve on account of more torrential rain forecast and go down early Saturday.

Saturday looks to be fine.
I imagine it'll be busy as it's the only day with the Vulcan.
We'll be using the park and ride as usual.

Anyone know if dogs are allowed at the show, are there any restricted areas?

Dogs are allowed. I was sticking stickers on dogs last year as they went past, although personally the loud noises and busy crowds in my opinion aren't the right places to take a pet.

[tricky1962]

Just back from there.

Plenty of dogs on leads, on the promenade. The dogs didn't seem to mind the noise, even during the Typhoon display which was loud enough to drown out the tannoy (deep joy, no inane commentary)

Did anyone see Eric Brown there today? I heard the announcer say he was there, but I didn't see him.

Looking forward to seeing the Vulcan tomorrow. Good displays today - the only question is where to see this last flight. I suppose I will head for the seafront - near the Wishtower has been good previously so probably there or near enough.
Last year seeing it fly around the coast around Beachy Head at a very low level was quite something. I was tempted to head up to the Head itself - but lets face it - the display is at the seafront - so thats the best place...
Thank heavens I dont have to worry about parking though. Even today things were pretty snarled!

Looking forward to seeing the Vulcan tomorrow too. Not sure where we're going to watch from as yet... Saw it a few years back from Beachy Head as it came in below the cliff top, amazing sight and got a good all round view.

This year may go for the beach, quite fancy experiencing the Vulcan going vertical over my head

Fingers crossed for some decent weather tomorrow!

We are staying at Pevensey and getting a train in, 9 minutes to Eastbourne. Sounds like a wise move!

[Chrisgr31]

Also staying in Pevensey and trying to decide how to get in, and what time!

[Mutley]

Am headed upto Beachy today, seen a few displays and flypasts this year, off for a different angle
