At least I've seen it in the past - I'm not too concerned about rain (yet anyway) but Leuchars is rather windy today - lets' hope for a nice high ridge arriving about thursday til sunday......

Paul.
She got to Duxford for her display at 14:10 today, almost 20 mins EARLY. The rumour mill was reckoning between 14:30 and 15:00 for tomorrow ( usual disclaimers apply). Hope you have better luck than I had, as she was early, although the weather was cleared in time, I was stood infront of three Dak's on the flight line, all powered up ready for their display.
Now don't get me wrong the sound of three Dakotas all ticking over together is to be savoured, however a Vulcan display without sound
. Really messed up the video, still it was good to see her in the air once more.
Long may she continue.
Cheers
Andy
P.S. got half a mind to go back tomorrow and try again.

Excellent, Andy, thanks for that. I too heard she is scheduled for 3 pm tomorrow, so what you say seems to confirm it. It now all depends on the weather, which is looking pretty awful. However, living just 7 miles away , I can make a late decision. I'm going up on the back road, rather than into the show itself.
Thanks for the info ! CHEERS
