XH558 display over Douglas Bay IOM.

[Snapper]

Can anybody provide any timings on this display please? I've exhausted my search for details. All I've found is that its this Friday evening. Doesn't really help much. A planned start & finish time would be ideal if any can provide.

Many thanks

She is due to leave Finningley around 18.30 depart possibly over Blackpool to display over IoM at 19.30

Many thanks for the gen Mayfly. Much appreciated.

Question. Why isn't this info available on the VTTS website though? All the display details do is link through to the TT website which is like searching for a needle in a haystack. Whoever is paying for the display will not get their money's worth as its rather badly advertised.(IMHO)

Now, isn't THAT the $64,000 question!

Not at all, the $64 000 question is when is Dr. Bob going?

Even at the present rate of exchange, I think you'll find that figure is a bit low.

There is so much information that should be on the VTTS site that is not, but it is freely available on other forums..........

I've taken a look at about 10 VERY JERKY Youtube videos of the 7minute display by XH558 over Douglas Bay on the Isle of Man on Friday evening and with perfect cloudless blue sky THIS would have been a superb show to witness....and a magnificent finale to the awesome TT motorbike races....

BUT there does not appear to have been any advance publicity. The VTTS website - in the display listing of the VTTS website - linked to the TT website. But that website has NOTHING about the Vulcan appearance. The VTTS home page did get updated with the flying details AFTER my request for display info timings (Co-incidence?). The local media on the island should have been shouting about this from the mountaintops but even now if you do a search for VULCAN on the webnews page : iomtoday.co.im then Nothing comes up....

Here's one comment I copied from a YOUTUBE vid...
"Did not know it was coming. First thing I noticed was a low level Vulcan flying past my flat window ( and then the sound). You are quite right, it did set of a car alarm at the end."

and this comment was from an IOM resident!

Somebody at VTTS needs to get their act together to make a VULCAN appearance the TOP NEWS ITEM on every media source.
DISCUSS!
