Yup 2006 was great,fortunately missed the washout in 07 due to a prior engagement.

Never seen a BUFF in the air before so looking forward to that.

I'm fortunate enought to be able to remember the Vulcans so that will be a nice treat again.

[PsiFox]

Vulcan still provisional show. All depends on CAA pulling out their administrative fingers.

Still only 2 of us going?

[Aperture87]

I'll be covering the event Thursday to Sunday.

Ill be there again this year. last year a disaster, Wet and to top the lot lost me camera. (spare thank god). Just aquired the new Sigma 150-500 IS lens.Have a cannon 400D any help also would be most appreciated, as this is practice for RAF Fairford the following week.

[PsiFox]

XH558 now has the money to appear at the following shows, subject to granting of CAA permit in time.

Aerobytes Ltd., which supplies flight safety and fuel saving software to the aviation industry, has responded to the Vulcan to the Sky Trust's (VTST) pleas for financial assistance by swelling the coffers enough to ensure that the iconic aircraft will appear at this year's Waddington Internation Airshow (5th - 6th July), Royal International Air Tattoo at Fairford (12 – 13 July) and Farnborough International (14 – 20 July) airshows – subject to the UK CAA granting XH558 a Permit to Fly and a Display Authority certificate.

[Aperture87]

Be great to see it there, naturally. But if it doesn't make it then it's still a decent show.

[LeeP]
