Very atmospheric :applause:
I shall be going to Tilbury tomorrow, so I hope the Gravesend way point still stands.
Shall check in the morning.
It’ll be disappointing if I don’t see her, but I have managed two airshows and a fly past this year.
As the song says, “You don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone” 🙁
Lots of pictures here from today: http://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-manchester-news/live-vulcan-xh558-farewell-flypast-10234410

Just noticed that timings will be confirmed tomorrow – Saturday….sigh.
Apparently North Weald are expecting her at 1:30pm on Sunday. So you should be able to get rough times at
other locations from that.
My wife said to me yesterday, ” Haven’t you got enough photos of the Vulcan already ?”….. I didn’t know what to say 🙁
Looking at the map, there’s a few places in Lincolnshire where it would be quite easy to see her twice.
Very nice, as long as it wasn’t too close.
I haven’t seen any info on times yet, or any alterations to routings.
They’re cutting it a bit tight !
Edit: North Weald 1:30pm
Usual over dramatic reporting !
Piece of space junk maybe ?

What was the date of this incident ?
Such a shame that the RAF pulled out of the airshow circuit a few years back.
Not that they really have much to show now anyway.
Here’s a thought Alan – one of the following flights visits all the static Vulcans on display!!;)
Good idea Charlie. It’s a wonder nobody has thought of that.
I might go to North Weald, but I reckon it could be a bit crowded. The other alternative would be Tilbury Fort.
As long as we knew it was going to keep to it’s route. It may also be a bit higher by then.
I see they will be making a token gesture by flying over some place called Manston, have you heard of it ?
No Southend this time either 🙁
Amazing what is still lying around. Obviously no scrap dealers in the locality ?
The chances are that the only major part they will find, will be the engine. If they did indeed recover the
complete human remains.
This clip from Only Fools and Horses comes to mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BUl6PooveJE
