For those in Southend who are not going to the Clacton Airshow, make your way to the airport this afternoon (Thurs 23rd).
The Vulcan is due to do a 10minute display at around 3:30pm.
BBMF should be in too.

Did a nice 8 minute display at Wattisham as well.

Did the Lanc go Tech then? When I saw the two Spitfires I wondered if it had gone and landed at Manston or Norwich.
The Lanc pilot was sick, as was the Hurricanne.

It only did three passes, but still well worth seeing.
Shame the Lancaster was out of action.

Quite right. ATC are expecting her though, and have allocated a 10minute slot.
If nothing else, it should wake a few people up 🙂
They have tweeted that take off should be about 1510 from Finningley so possible Southend before Clacton.

We’re hoping to see ‘558 today yes, but please don’t expect a display.
