From Twitter this evening:

Anyone near Wickenby Aerodrome, Lincolnshire - we have been told by the crew they expect a practice display o/head tomorrow - Sat @ 2.50pm

Wickenby have a Wings and Wheels on this w/e.

Well I suppose it gets around the high cost of affording a legitimate display nicely.

Yea Wickenby confirmed a display the other day for 1440 on Saturday. As to practice runs or anything like that I don't know. Also Wickenby were saying the Reds were on Saturday (display) but Lincoln City radio said they were there on Sunday (fly past), then the Reds were saying neither on their website so Vulcan is a good chance but I have not got a clue about Reds, they may even turn up painted blue for all anyone knows lol

The Vulcan will be landing at Manston today after displaying at Hastings & Rye.

The flight is expected to depart at 2.30pm with a practice display overhead Wickenby Aerodrome planned, before routing to Hastings and Rye.

XH558 will then be landing at Manston to park for the week, ahead of next weekends airshow - apprx arrival at 4.20pm

Extremely windy down on the South coast today. It's going to be a bumpy ride.

Just back from Wickenby this afternoon, really enjoyed the display which was really close to the crowd line and had some lovely Lincolnshire cloudage as a backdrop (although this pic doesn't show it!):

[Nighthawke]

Never mind the clouds- the way you caught the sun on the wings has made that a cracking shot.

Just heard locally today that she's been confirmed for Clacton-on-Sea airshow 2013, Friday only though. I see this info has also been updated on the Flightline UK website today, but nothing yet on the Vulcan website.

Anyone know where she will be based for weston super mare airshow?

[Mayfly]

According to the VTST website she's only down for a display so I am assuming she will fly from Manston to WSM display then back home but I could be wrong.
