As I live in the parish I might mooch up onto the seawall for a look.
Whaley McWhaleface!
Gonna have to keep an eye out for it up here in Yorkshire when it starts making the Hamburg to Chester runs.
Looks like it's running late and will skip the Derby fly past. Due 2.45 over Bristol now

there were police at the end of the runway 3 hours ago so im guessing there will be a few crowds about, new jet blast screens have been fitted as well because of the engine power they have which could be interesting.... may walk round in a bit as there will be nowhere to park!
I'm too far north to go and have a look.
But have seen the 'smaller' version quite a few times when we've been at Chester Zoo.
It's gert massive!
It is big. Did a low fly right over our heads then did a wing waggle along the filton runway
did a couple fly bys at hawarden, there were hundreds of people watching, id post a pic but cant be bothered with firing up the enigma machine to do it... 😉
Took the staff into the office roof in Chester to watch it. It flew around and then went in to land so we went back in.... Two minutes later it flew very low right over our roof have not landed and just done a low flypast at harwarden before doing another circle before actually landing!
Missed it.
Doh!
Nice set of photos there, redthunder!
