Midlands Vulcan bomer run - fazersharp - 07-10-15
Just looking into this my self as one of the last flight routes has just been issued here https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=zJoGZd3-Qg5U.k3u8IUZTll6M
Looking at it I can get to see it twice - once at rutland water and then at Bruntingthorpe - here is my route thinking
[size=1.45em]here[/size]
the planes route starts north and gos clockwise right down to the south coast so there maybe a lot of time to kill in between the two points
So just thinking is anyone interested or am i on my own---- ( But if it looks like rain then YOU are on your own )
Sunday 11th Oct

the map isnt working right it was supposed to go to melton mowbray
fixed it
the route takes in one of the best biking roads in town
Those who did the middle earth run may recognise some of it
Re: Vulcan bomer run - Frosties - 07-10-15
Portishead looks like a good spot for a double take.

If theres a group I wouldn't mind turning up just for a social, would be in my car but depending on speed and traffic I could try my best to keep up on the run.
Fazersharp, you have a route planned?

I have made my route link clearer in my first post. So far it only includes the route from Rutland water to Bruntingthorpe and also I cannot get it to show a full run around Rut water which I plan on doing
It will be on this Sunday but timings are yet to be released by the vulcan peeps on Friday but I think take off from Doncaster is 1 ish, and Rut water is one of the first ones so would be 1.15 ish
Rutland water is a good run out and also hopefully a good viewing spot, I have uploaded an animated giff of two options by the road. There is a car park pay and display further up the road but that would mean a long trek back along the shore line in me bike kit but that would also mean that we are a bit closer than from the side of the road.
As for bruntingthorpe viewing the airfield is surrounded by trees but not sure if they are letting people on the site or if you need tickets or what.
Not sure is the best outside view would be the south east side and watch it come in or the other end and watch it climb out

Flying right over my house!
Re: Midlands Vulcan bomer run - BBROWN1664 - 08-10-15
This is going within about 10 miles of my house when it flys past Dunsfold. Cant see anything about times on the website yet. Knowing my luck it will be while I am watching my youngest play rugby in Caterham though
Re: Midlands Vulcan bomer run - fazersharp - 08-10-15
The times are being announced on Friday
As well as the Sunday run I also plan on nipping up the east mid airport On Saturday
Re: Midlands Vulcan bomer run - BBROWN1664 - 09-10-15
Anyone know what time the timings will be announced?
Trying to organise my day around seeing the Vulcan one last time.
Re: Midlands Vulcan bomer run - fazersharp - 09-10-15
If you click the points on the map it only shows a time + from take off but as yet no take off time.
Re: Midlands Vulcan bomer run - celticdog - 09-10-15
They're not publishing a take off time apparently as the police don't want huge crowds to appear at Doncaster.
The route has now been extended to take in the outskirts of Edinburgh and the borders, with a bit of luck i'm under the flight path, let's hope for good weather. :thumbup
Re: Midlands Vulcan bomer run - BBROWN1664 - 09-10-15
If they don't publish the time how are people meant to be on the route to see it?
Re: Midlands Vulcan bomer run - joebloggs - 09-10-15

Re: Midlands Vulcan bomer run - celticdog - 10-10-15
Apparently it's going to happen between 4 and 4:30 pm, the wife has seen it on facebook so it must be the gospel truth as we all know facebook is the font of all knowledge.
Reports that High Wycombe is to be bombed from the face of the earth can neither be confirmed or denied.
Re: Midlands Vulcan bomer run - red98 - 10-10-15
thought that myself a few times CELTICDOG :rolleyes .....we got more than our fair share of scumbags here in high wycombe :rolleyes .....on the plus side we also have some RED FAZER RIDERS :thumbup :lol

........got him watching the website for times today,will post as soon as i know...[size=78%] [/size]
