RNAS Yeovilton Air Day 2011

[Hurn]

I could only guess it might be down to pilot availability, although they might not get in at all tomorrow due to the rain.

[Jez]

One question that someone might be able to answer for me. I want to try and park in the Hunter car park. Will be coming down the A303 from Andover. Can i come off the round about where the Mcdonalds is and head for Queen Camel village and get to Hunter car park?

You could the last time I went (2009).

According to flightplan the promised Casa295 will be a C130E (+ 2x Mig29), arrival on thursday afternoon

Vulcan went tech at Waddington, it was due in at 1130, which slipped to 1245, which then cancelled. We did get a Swordfish display, Hunter solo, Black Cats display and the Jordanian's started up, taxiied around and then went back to their apron!

Damn and blast, was hoping they would arrive on the Friday , just hope 1 will do a practice display on the Friday at least!??

Cheers

Why are the VTTS doing this again this year? The Vulcan arrived days early last year just to sit there on the ramp. They (VLN) really don't like enthusiasts do they

With the current engine issue in mind it's just as well they went for a Tuesday departure rather than leaving on Friday, as it looks like it could have been more than just a few enthusiasts being disappointed.

[Aquila]

Anyone know if there will be departures on Sunday morning? and what sort of time?

[RichC]

There are "some" departures on the 10th but most seem to be departing on the 11th

Have you got predictive text turned on ?

It's "does" and not "dose", it's also "you" and not "u" !

[Sheff]

Well, despite the distance, I think I might actually go to this show *gasp* !

Polish CASA C295 - Cancelled

[RichC]

Baffled why Yeovilton just cannot get or keep any large aircraft. For the past several years they have always had large aircraft in the static on the list only all of them cancel at the last moment.
Vulcan to be the largest (again) then.
