As far as I know, from the info I have it's 'pot-luck' if anything comes in on Sunday. I believe the airfield will be open from around 0800 for 12 hours.

I would suggest that if anyone is travelling a long way I probably wouldn't bother. If you're close to VL than it's not the end of the World if nothing comes in.

I wonder if it was only a standby diversion commitment for the aircraft operating off of the carrier. Now it is moored in Stokes Bay the only aircraft flying from it will be helicopters.
