Same here for me tomorrow as the Rutland water flypast is + 15 mins after take off and I am 40 ish mins away (the direct route ). But looking at their twitter they announce when they are on board which is usually about an hour before take off

I don't use tw@tter and the XH558 website and mobile app are not working well today. I guess too many people are trying to get updates.

Here's some shots to try and show how many people were lining the perimeter, they were parking 2 deep on the verge I just pulled up to the cones that you can see and the cops stepped aside
 mokin I would say that there were about 2000 people there all excited only to see it veer off about 2 miles out

Yeh there is a lot of very angry people on twitter and the vulcan facepage
I ant bov as I had a good ride out the back route and got to surprise the shit out of a 1000cc power ranger clad rocket rider around some twisties, oh he was a brave big boy on a big long straight alright which is when he went past which i was then content to let him do.

Looking at twiter and facebook rummer and speculation. The vulcan twitter says it was due to departing traffic ---now I was there and there was no departing, a jet 2 or what ever was clearly on hold by the side and had been tere for at least 15mins - a clear path was there.
Then there was a light in the distance which was a cesna and behind that was the vulcan about a mile or more behind. The cesna landed and for a short while the vulcan was still approaching and then banked north and that was it. Some are saying that it was short of fuel after doing an un scheduled pass at Endinborough but then it seemed to have had plenty for a few laps at its home in doncaster for some air to air shots with a helicopter. People were told not to go to doncaster as it was just going to come straight in and land -- they were lied to as it did laps whilst being filmed Those people (loyal supporters ) did as they were told and kept away and instead went to EMA and also parts north of derby and Sheffield which also was missed in favour - it looks like - of a photo shoot to go in a future dvd to sell and keep certain people in a nice cushy job. Looking at twitter and facebook those miffed people are now all going to go to doncaster on sunday

looks like its going to be the same today,no times as yet,yesterday the times were released 2hr before take off on twitter,iam not a fan of twitter but looks like the only way to plan my day.......THE PLAN...first "spot" will be north weald airfield,by the side of the M11,will park up on the airfield perimeter road south of the airfield,think this will be a popular spot so need to get there early,its about 1hr drive for me...second spot will be ludgershall turning point just south of bicester,will use the back lanes,most spotters will be on the A41....i hope
....that gives me 2hr 35 mins travelling time.....only down side is i`ll be in the cage as son wont get on the bike :\ ....got to make the effort though,you dont see this everyday,and could be my last chance,but i have noticed on official website they are listing a "final flight" towards the end of the month..........
One, is never going to be enough.....

I'm off to Rutland with some friends and their children, supposed to travel in their car although with the weather looking good it maybe my last chance to have a comfortable run with the lid down on the Eunos so may take it anyway.
Complete fabrication, I didn't make it up!
