From another forum, it looks like Old Warden will try to fly the Boxkite at 10:35 and 15:35 on Wednesday. Also in the pipeline (although as yet unconfirmed) are some RAF fast jets and a Red Arrows flyby at 14:15.
Anyone likely to be there?

More info, from the horse’s mouth:
Everyone is welcome to come along on Wednesday 17th
December, although it is primarily a Press Day, to The Shuttleworth
Collection because it is hoped, weather permitting, that we will fly the
Bristol Boxkite, also another Shuttleworth aeroplane, and quite a lot of
private owners are flying in. It’s a mini flying day in the middle of
winter! If you want to fly in, please telephone 01767 627288 beforehand.
Alternatively, the Air Traffic will be operating on Wednesday and their
number is 01767 627563. If you are planning to drive in, please be aware
that there will be a parking fee on Wednesday of £2 per car. It is
possible to pre book a Christmas lunch in the restaurant on 01767 627539.
Gates open at 10am; the actual time of flying will be weather dependent.
RAF participation is not confirmed at this stage.

The Moths are due to
fly over or as near as permitted to: Hatfield; Stone Grove; Stag Lane; Leavesden and Panshanger.
I reckon we should clash around about Leavesden at 14:28:35!
I’m taking the rare French-designed elliptically-winged monoplane version of the Moth – the Emeraumoth. I’m sure the Hawks will either avoid me out of disgust or awe!

I’ll be there in the afternoon, looking forward to it. 🙂

Current plans are that I will be there, by road 🙁

A swarm of de Havilland Moths are planning on flying out of Henlow.
I reckon they will be turning East then South towards London. However, if they accidently go North towards Old Warden, it could get very exciting there!
