Yeah we came in off the M69 and parked "off road" before the museum and went back out the same way, second time today I'd been down there as I'd had to go to Stoneleigh earlier in the day, only good thing about that was I happened to see a Gloster Meteor ( i think?) take off on my way home :-) the first time!.

As you say good, good call by VTTS, they recon they added another 3000 to their twitter following today alone.

Considering Waddo was an afterthough, the turn out was amazing. Car park was 95% full. The fencing of the runway lights was rammed with locals and all along the A15 was busy too. She gave the WAVE a nice "Wave" too. SO pleased the turnout matched the disgruntled posts when the first list went up :)

I went down the Harmston end so I could see her run in on approach. There weren't that many down that end about 8 cars or so. I'm pleased there was a good turn out.

I was positioned by the 3mile approach beacon on the approach to Runway 23 at Coventry.
Great to see her arrive from Bitteswell and fly along Runway 23 before departing for Brum.

must have past you in the farm entrance gateway on my way to the airport I live just up the road Bulkington.
good spot on the hill there, with the landscape dropping away over towards Brinklow way.
