You don't have to be signed up to twitter to view their tweets. https://twitter.com/XH558

Any flight activities are also likely to be reported here though as and when people know.

News "e letter" tonight says another flight sometime this week for crew currency, but weather and crew availabilty dependant....as said above twitter your best bet imo.

Yea just to let you know the aircraft was at least running today as it popped up on my screen today and triggered an alert as they were squawking a RAF Waddington Squawk code, unfortunately I wasn't a) glued to my desk today and b) It wasn't transmitting a position so I couldn't track it on the map.

I would keep a very close eye on twitter this week if I were you, if see it pop up I will post in this thread for you but I may not be able to give anything firmer than "its squawking" lol Would be great to see her.

You didn't need to track it; it was where it usually is. On the ground at Doncaster.
