Yes she's airborne, and kicking off her 50th Birthday year! Should be displaying at Waddo as I type this!

What the heck is XH558??
Oooooh.. that
Actually, I forgot to mention she'd be flying at Wadders.. something I learned a few days ago. Such has 558 become, when I hear 558.. it tends to go in one ear and out the next I'm afraid

She flew over Speedbird Towers yesterday as I was getting the washing in
She was quite low and climbing from the north which would suggest she'd come from Lyneham or possibly Fairford? Anyway she banked round to head east towards DaveB's part of the world but it seems like he missed it - again
The ETPS 1-11 had been about earlier so I wasn't automatically looking up at the sound of old RR jets. But this sounded different enough to make me look twice. I nearly dropped the washing basket

So it's flying again then, after its corrosion problems.
I've just seen 558, just west of my place on route from Goodwood to Waddo....Cool!

I think I might have heard it. Was loafing in the toyroom when I heard a jet go over quite low. Can't see JS out of my window so ran to the other side of the house and saw nowt there. Ah well.. at least I
might have heard it
