Farewell Tour Details

Hi,

I am trying to find out some details of the Farewell Tour for a project I am undertaking.

The flights I refer to were are the following:

Heathrow - Birmingham - Heathrow (20 October 2003)
Heathrow - Belfast - Heathrow (21 October 2003)
Heathrow - Manchester - Heathrow (22 October 2003)
Heathrow - Cardiff - Heathrow (23 October 2003)
Heathrow - Edinburgh - Heathrow (24 October 2003)

All of these flights were scheduled to leave Heathrow at 10:00 hours and arrive at their respective locations at 11:45, and the return was to leave at 16:05 and arrive at Heathrow at 17:45 (apart from the last Edinburgh flight which left Edinburgh earlier in order to get to Heathrow around 16:00)

Does anybody have any details of the routings that these flights took? I have some information about the Edinburgh flight but I cannot find anything out about the others, if anyone can supply me with anything it would be very much appreciated.

Also, were these flights purely subsonic or was there a short supersonic section in there somewhere, after all it doesn't take 1:45 to get to Cardiff, Birmingham or Manchester etc if you go direct.

Many thanks in advance for anything you can offer.

Regards,

Steve.
