Not heard anything definite - but rumours last week was the timings would be the same as last Fridays planning - so would be 11.00 [ish] take off


Edit: latest I've seen 558 due at Sywell at 11.00am

It should be a long session between 11:00 and 14:00, running a ten mile race track pattern around the Sywell and Kettering area!

Sent up by my son from outside his workplace today at 12pm
Is that one of the blades turning above 558?

this one has the blades in line off her port wing

all from a phone camera at a distance so not that good to pick them out

Managed to get over to Sywell today to see the old bird put a very good show on. Hope it gets a lot of coverage on the TV as there were a few crews there & has the desired effect of making folkes dip into their pockets

Typhoon, Vulcan and The Blades only 20 miles from my house. I would say watching the video makes up for not getting there but I have always been a terrible liar! X(
