If anyone is going, be aware of the parking restrictions when the aircraft is taking off. They are very strict with it, nothing is allowed to park under the flightpath.

Regards

Jim.

Hope the XM655 event goes well, and that they get a good flypast by XH558.

When's the new batch entering service???????????????

If she wasn't allowed to fly over the town, what was the point in wasting the money on the fuel, and wear & tear on the aircraft

. So there will be NO chance of flying over London next year

.

by **Dan4th** » Sun Oct 16, 2011 5:41 pm

I expect they were paid an appearance fee
for that, so expenses were probably covered....

Also, wasn't today some sort of aircrew certification
thing?

So, is that "it" for her for the season??????

Can't Wait to see the NEW Ones!!!!!!!!!

Danf.

EDIT: I expect a flyover of London next year would
be an entirely different situation........

I guess it's just wait and see.......
