Best reason to vote “yes” that I’ve heard so far…..
She was apparently taking part in a special kids activity called, quite seriously, “Bullets & Burgers”.
Total madness.
Hear hear – much appreciated by me too: one of my favourite museums. Must take real dedication to keep the aircraft in such good condition – especially when one of them is a Vulcan.
There have been mentions in various places that C-GVRA’s hide-and-seek on FR24 is caused by transponder issues.
The briefing map seems to suggest an approach that’s more down the east coast than from that westerly route though?
Ahhh- thank you FR24……!
Looking back up the thread, none of that seems to agree with the map posted earlier though… so it’s anyone’s guess…!
I’m not an aeroplane driver – so others may know better, but I assumed these to be waypoints?
Gow is Glasgow,
DCS is South East of Carlisle,
POL south of Burnley
MAMUL just East of Rotherham…
hadn’t checked the final ones – too far South for me….
Vanished near the Faroes about 20 mins ago. Here’s hoping it’ll pop up as the approach the UK
Incidentally – found this route info on another forum … might help with where and when to point the camera…

“I saw a werewolf with a Chinese menu in his hand – walking through the streets of Soho in the rain” ?
“Beware of the flowers cos I’m sure they’re gonna get you – yeah.” One of many from John Otway
And this one deserves to be quoted in full… from Donovan…
“She came, she came to meet a man, she found an angel
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was his name now
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was his name now
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was his name now
He very wise in the herbal lore’s got young cure now
She came, she came to free the pain with his wild flower
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was his name now
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was his name now
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was his name now
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was his name now
Fine fine, fine fine acelandine be prepared for her
Tea tea, tea tea to make her free while incense burned
In love pool eyes float feathers after the struggle
The hopes burst and shot joy all through the mind
Sorrow more distant than a star
Multicolor run down over your body
Then the liquid passing all into all
Love is hot, truth is molten
True true, true true the song he sang her while the leaves cooked
Ting ting, ting little bell he rang her, sleepily she looked
He filled, he filled a leather cup, holding her gaze
She took, she took a little sip while this song he sang
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was my name now
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was my name now
Goo goo, goo goo barabajagal was my name now
It really is worth trying Uswitch or a similar site to compare prices. Switching suppliers is actually very easy – and we’re currently paying about half what we were paying five years ago, despite all the price hikes since then. A lot of the new, small companies seem much more user-friendly too.
Scroll down a few posts on that Facebook site and check out Steve Kerry’s painting of the Lightning – “Reflected Glory”. Very nice!
Actually, as dedicated Trekkies will know, one of the Voyager probes is indeed found by an alien civilization who build an incredible advanced spaceship around it and send it back on a mission that will accidentally destroy Earth, if the (by now rather elderly) crew of the Enterprise can’t save us first….
“…a book ought to be written about the early “got while the getting was good” warbird collectors..”
Karl Hoffman’s “Hunting Warbirds” is a good starting place: Though primarily focussing on the likes of Gary Larkins and Darryl Greenamyer – it has a good chapter on Soplata too. The story of how he built up the Ohio collection, dragging planes home across country behind the family car, is extraordinary
In his autobiography too he has a pop at the “rude nasty resentful” locals of Yoxford – and their greasy fish and chips.
Amuses me too the way that he whenever it’s mentioned, he pointedly refers to how good the Packard Merlin engine was.
