She was at Marshalls today and took off at 1635, caused quite a stir amongst the staff that were still there:D

Assuming all progresses well next week, can anyone shed any light on what time Sally B flypast at Horham on Sunday 17th is scheduled for?
Thanks to BBMF site I know that they are due at 15.10.

Elly has advised that the flypast is due from 14:50 to 15:00. Perfect timing! Just hope the weather is ok……

I’m surprised that she was taken up in such conditions, but the aircrew know how to treat an old friend, good for them, lets look forward to seeing Sally B on sunday, it must be nearly two years since her last public appearance.

It’s a bit murky down here, I’ve already witnessed a light a/c on finals for Rayne looking a bit uncomfortable, I wouldn’t blame them if they put off the flight till it brightens up a bit, on the other hand, 30 miles between here and DX can make a lot of difference sometimes.
