Yep - myself and Wizzette will be going. Travelling up there during Thurday, camping nearby until Tuesday.

Hoping to get to watch 558 arrive and depart (anyone any ideas of timings? I've seen 12pm Friday, but that's all so far).

Looking forward to a good display, and the promised good weather! :) :)

See you all there!

Mags depending on wind direction/strenth she will probably come in on 27 low over the sea End of West Sands is a good point or go round into the nature reserve to opposit the tower.only other way of course is 09 from Cupar down the valley Rail station better watch their roof then.Sods law whichever end you go to it will be the other way.Better still call cupar office of Courier ask for Cheryl and get on the base as an assistant reporter :D .might be a bit late to get a pass now though.

Haggis:

Important thing is that You and your
Better Half are seeing to ye Health
Issues. I'm rooting for the both of
you as are all the rest of us. Vulcan
will still be around when you're in
the clear and feeling more like
getting your feet dirty and being
rained-on while being jostled by mobs
of unruly airshow goers......

It'll happen, I guarantee!
