Farewell tour routing
Posted: Mon Oct 12, 2015 7:12 pm
I maybe asking the wrong audience, but does anyone know the logic behind the routing of the farewell tour this weekend? I can understand a small handful of the sites had a relationship with the Vulcan's past, but the vast majority of waypoints were airports un-related to the Vulcan's history. At the same time, I can't see that flypasts at airports helped meet the Lottery funding's desire to share the aircraft with the general public. Generally speaking, only spotters, tourists and business people go to airports. I suspect there might've been some post-Shoreham fear of flying the aircraft over built up areas, perhaps that was a big influence. Who knows?
