I have heard Goodwood doesn't want her for that particular event as it caused problems the first time she did it. Kemble didn't book her for next w/e so will there be any money in the pot at this late stage? and I don't rate the chances with Duxford.
I would however love to be wrong and see her at all remaining events!!

Duxford has always viewed 558 as an expensive extravegance, they realise they can get at least 5 or 6 other "acts" for the same money!

Would they get more on the gate with 558 taking part?

I remember the vids were fantastic!
I also got in some digs with people who
maintained that 558 would NEVER, EVER
leave the UK!
I remember the crowd went NUTS when
she flew!
You would think just the possibility of
558 being there would be enough.

Got a good video compilation from the Tigermeet.

.....I should have said just the possibility of
558 being ANYWHERE would be enough.....

Jim, I'm sure they would reap the benefits of the Vulcan effect that other airshows have enjoyed, but just how would they deal with a no show if a vast majority of people have gone along mainly to see 558.
It's all very well quoting the "SUBJECT TO SERVICEABILITY AND WEATHER" line but that can't wash forever!

The same as any other show would deal with it if it happened to them, I would have thought.
The serviceability statement is a standard line quoted by all shows and organisers.
To me it's simple Duxford choose who they wish to display and pay, if they don't want her that is their choice, No excuses needed.
