If you keep refreshing the link I posted above you will follow the whole thing with nail-biting attention. Latest is that the checks have statred meaning an hour to take-off at the most. They are waiting to inform us of the routing to Brize from Lyneham.:)

Latest is that there is a planned departure to Brize at 1500……………

The vulcan on its way to Brize 🙂

Hope you are right, Anna, but nothing so far from the Vulcanite poised at Lyneham with camcorder and text, nor from their twitter………

But the Beeb could do that very well on half the money, Pagen. That’s the crux of the matter, surely. Yes it is great – sometimes, but often it is c**p, and it shouldn’t be.

Well it’s obviously not that “northern drivers are rubbish” – just because the road is in the North it doesn’t follow that the drivers who cause the accidents to create the statistc are from the North.

It is probably that the terrain and lie of the road encourages appalling and irresponsible driving.
