[RAFfan99]

ive emailed the xh558 sky trust for the confirmed flypast time at birmingham

[7gb1]

DELIGHTED common sense has prevailed I now hope to see her for the first time this year
Gordon.

B3n,I'm going to Cardiff to see it but St Athan is a nightmare to park, I think I will make my way to the Highwayman Inn at Fonmon, that way you should have a view of the plane and a pint to boot.

[Mayfly]

It possibly is, they have said they won't give spot timings because of factors outside their control - however they have given t/o and landing times.

Vulcan effect very evident here at Cov airport.
must be 1000 people standing around the south side.

[Cherokee Rose]

On its way to Cosford peeps, just flew straight over the house here. Nice and low. Fantastic sight.

There was easily that many, great sight as always with a nice "wing wave" and then off to Brum..

[Dannnn]

Just passed over Brize

[rich71]

Very disappointing pass over Cottesmore wasn't over the runway at all and very high up 3000 ft plus. Not sure why they bothered in all honesty was hoping for a nice low pass in line with the runway people waiting at the south end didn't even see it.

Edit: Apparantly Cottesmore was NOTAM from this morning stopping all aircraft overflying the runway by 2NM not the best timing!

[Mike]

1900 ?

"1900 and frozen to death" = longer ago than I care to (or can) remember!

Regards.

Understood !

I came to the airport via Bubbenhall and yes the south side was rammed, went home via the the Museum side and that was rammed also.

friend of mine popped round who had just come back from Knowle near Birmingham, he said it was gridlock along the lanes and surrounding area of Knowle.
good call by VTTS, lots of media coverage seen by many people, so good call flying over the Industrial heartland of the country.
