Are they lost? thought they were going to Brize?

Isn’t that in’t’other direction?

Sod’s law it comes up here and i don’t know anything about it!

Saw one of the Sentrys from Waddo last night, not far up the road at Market Weighton.

They were quite low over here, cloud was very low, and they were beneath, or amongst it.

took a couple of pics on my phone, and had to look at them for a few seconds to convince myself what it was..

ooh, Aurora!

heading for Scotland’s Area 51 at Machrihanish perhaps!:eek:

or, probably, not.

Anyone know anything about that place, apart from what’s on the conspiracy websites?

All i know is it got a lot of money spent on it by the US, and it’s got a long-ish runway that goes out to sea.

And a big hangar. (Where they keep the bits of crashed spaceship and aliens in formaldehyde, presumably)

Bit of business? Urgent appointment with a cheeseburger? 😀

Visited museum on monday AM, didn’t get a look in the tin triangle, as the lads were busy moving engines out of the little shed, it’s a nice little museum though.

Weekend was a bit of a damp squib, wasn’t it. Think next year they’ll line up a few backup displays for the arena on the ground, in case the weather kills the flying.

We really enjoyed the RMC unarmed combat display, that was a good laugh, and at least gave people something to watch.

Not sure what to do next, don’t know if we’ll be able to afford another weekend away or another airshow this year, but i’m tempted by the 90th anniversary show at Duxford.

Elvington this Sunday, in theory, supposed to be running up the Victor and Buccaneer, maybe with a couple of fly-ins (i heard JP and Tiger Moth mentioned, but not confirmed)

Least if the planes are on the ground, we’ll be able to see them.

Well there’s the thing with free shows, they attract everyone, not just us airplane geeks.. a lot of people don’t have a clue what they’re looking at until the red arrows turn up.

Lovely noise though, i remember it from when i was a kid. Takeoff was always the best bit.

Missed out at Waddington, only saw her from the road on saturday, so didn’t get the benefit of the takeoff. And then on sunday….

I was videoing it on my phone, and we were way down the crowdline, so if they announced over the PA that she wasn’t actually taking off, we didn’t hear it.

The soundtrack on the video says it all.. engine noise, bit of a roar as she sets off rolling, then that “wyooooooooo” sound as pilot backs off the throttle, then me, going “Noooooooooooooooooo”.

Oh the disapointment.

Just hope they can find the money to keep her in the air for a few more years, would be gutted if that turned out to be the only chance to experience it again.

Seems there’s some ill-feeling creeping into the Vulcan discussions now she’s actually made it back onto the circuit, people questioning how much of their donation is actually going to pay inflated wages instead of helping keep XH558 in the air. Sad really.

stand corrected, am a moron.

first post said “newark another day”, and i somehow misinterpreted every other word in the post..

excuse me, perhaps a slight friday morning hangover is to blame…

I’ll get my coat.
