Happy birthday Sir, you are an inspiration.

Assume that's just a rumour. No bird strike was reported and it appeared that the rear of the left stabilator had delaminated I got that information from Gloustershire Live but they've since added "Confirmation when we get it" There was no bird strike.

US F16 has an issue, vibrations in the cockpit.

Just done a fly through and can see rear right stabiliser is flapping at the rear. On approach to land now

Looks damaged from a picture I saw - did he bit the runway

The F16 suffered a bird strike.

It was good to see the Merlin making the effort and the beach assault going ahead despite the abysmal weather yesterday.

Any update on this?

Good views from RAF Northolt ☺
All aircraft other than helos, BBMF and Reds seen.

She has done extremely well this year, a testament to the crews.

It would appear that the Sea Vixen is also not making an appearance which means the Heritage Flypast will not take place.

Great display at Dunsfold today, although it seemed a little short.

Just gone over Northampton, Vulcan crew aren't the only ones to be annoyed. If only I'd have known, that might have just been my only chance to see it flying.. I can understand your upset but the cancellation was down to the weather. Even the RAF Typhoon and the Tucano display team sacked it for th...

According to my PlanePlotter her last position was to the East of Grove, West of Didcot.

Not here but I think she was routing Odiham, Oxford and so on on her way back to Doncaster.

Now informing Farnborough she will free call Brize and route Wantage then turn north east of there.

Vulcan radio operator sounds p!$$ed off, shame as they tried.

Yeah I just had a text saying it's pouring with rain! Tucanos don't think they can get through the weather but will hold another 5 mins. Vulcan now calling Farnborough but not getting a reply. Edit: Vulcan still trying Farnborough but they unable to hear her, I must admit her audio quality isn't to...

According to the Tucano guys Dunsfold is still unfit to display so not sure how it will pan out for XH558.

Good luck to them.

Edit: Tucanos (Tankard) formation now on way to Dunsfold.

Maybe but I don't know what order she is meant to display in, it's possible it could be Dawlish then Dunsfold.

There was a mention of Dorset but Farnborough said Vulcan transmission was broken and advise they contact Bristol or somewhere else but I can't remember where the somewhere else was.

Vulcan now with Farnborough Radar
