Re: Vulcan flights 2013
Looking at the Dawlish railway webcam it looks like it has completed the display, everyone seems to be going home!

Dawlish display done, looks like they're trying for Dunsfold.

Twitter said the Vulcan was overflying Bournemouth but I still didn't see it.

Re: Vulcan flights 2013
According to the Tucano guys Dunsfold is still unfit to display so not sure how it will pan out for XH558.

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 too good, about a R3.
Edit: Now talking with Farnborough, 8 miles north of Bognor, flying into display at Dunsfold.

Re: Vulcan flights 2013
Shame about the weather there when it's been dry as bone elsewhere in the South.
Apparently only Red10 landed at Dunsfold earlier. My source hasn't quite got the concept of display 'team' yet.

Not here but I think she was routing Odiham, Oxford and so on on her way back to Doncaster.Mayfly wrote:Any sightings of her now?
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.

Re: Vulcan flights 2013
I think they should divert to Hurn and just stay the week.

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.llamafish wrote: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..
Even the RAF Typhoon and the Tucano display team sacked it for the same reason.

Same here, and to make it worse a mate phoned me from just down the road in Christchurch and said ' You'll never guess what I just saw!'llamafish wrote:I wasn't attending the display, it flew right over my house and I missed it!


From twitter: Today's crew: Martin Withers, Bill Perrins, Barry Masefield and Jonathan Lazzari. ETD 13:45
Dunsfold display is scheduled for 15.00 I believe.
Re: Vulcan flights 2013
All displays done, heading back home.
