Beefy's a bit late on parade today so I'll post the latest newsletter link ;) : http://mxm.mxmfb.com/rsps/wlnk/c/1216/r/16346/e/291

Sunday's flight timetable looks like this btw:
1345 - Crew in
1445 - XH558 departs Robin Hood
1515 - Flypast at Highclere Castle
1545 - Flypast at Highclere Castle
1600 - Flypast at Wootton Bassett
1630 - Overflight at Wellesbourne
1655 - Land at Robin Hood Airport, Doncaster
1700 - 'Hot' change of crew
1705 - Take off for crew currency flight - circuits
1715 - Landing and return to parking
Looking at that logically, my guess is that they'll do the Dunsfold flypast at about 15:30, then turn back for another flypast at Highclere and onto Wooton Bassett.

Just happened to be at Wittenham Clumops to see her fly-over at Benson before swinging right to pick up the A34 south of Didcot and head for Highclere

Here's hoping for a safe return home and some welcome winter R&R before a successful return to where she belongs in 2012
