I shouldn't think so. During the season they usually fit practise in when they're arriving at or leaving a venue, if the crew needs it.

Today's 558 twitterings:
Today's crew: Martin Withers, Bill Perrins, Barry Masefield and Jonathan Lazzari.

Estimated takeoff time 12:15 for a Goodwood display (@13.00). Return Yeovilton for display at 13:45.
Temps are going to be hitting about 28+ degrees down south today. Wouldn't like to be sat in that little cockpit while they're doing all the checks! :O
