    Thanks. Where can I get the map and provisional timings for tomorrow? Want to be up White Horse Hill.

    They normally email and tweet it after 11am. Worth keeping an eye out here:

    Agenda for the day is:
    Sun 30th August Dunsfold (Surrey)
    Sun 30th August Uffington White Horse Show (Oxfordshire)
    Sun 30th August Little Gransden (Cambridgeshire)

    Yesterday Dunsfold was 1500 display so Uffington probably 10-15mins after if the timing is the same.

    No displays tomorrow, only six more flying days. See it while you can.

    Edit: it did take off today and set off south, but turned back when there wasn’t a break in the low clouds at any of the display sites. I’d timed my ride to see it return, but it was already back in the hangar when I got to Finningley. If I’d done it the other way round, I could have at least seen the takeoff.

    Goodwood FOS 1600 ish for maybe the last time the Vulcan ventures south of the Thames , apart form tomorrow of course.
    After Shoreham I am in 2 minds its local and a nice ride up the Trundle to overlook the FOS . Vulcan turning circle will bring it in close hopefully.

    Flew over mid Hampshire pretty low about 30 minutes ago. Probably the last time I’ll ever see it flying, then.

    I’ve managed to see it twice locally in the last couple of weeks, actually 3 times of you count the Bournemouth Airshow. AWESOME!
