The Vulcan flew north along the M.6 next to Otherton Airfield (Penkridge, Staffs) and then seemed to circle Stafford in a leisurely manner. Anyone know what it was doing there, and where it had come from south of there ? Had it been to Cosford I am wondering ?

Probably holding while waiting for it’s slot at the Falklands Memorial Flypast. It had previously flown over Cosford.

I think it was scheduled to do a flypast at the National Service Veterans March Past at Cosford today. I think the Lancaster was supposed to be there too?

Yes, the Vulcan turned up for the flypast but I believe the Lancaster was grounded due to crosswinds at Coningsby.
