VC-10 flypast?

Apparently it is the last ever flight of an RAF VC-10 today, before the aircraft are retired and replaced with Voyagers.

After their mission they will complete a flyby of Newcastle, Warton, RAF Conninsby, RAF Marham, Birmingham, RAF Lossiemouth, RAF Leuchars, and Prestwick.

Anyone know what time they are due to overfly each airport?

EDIT: There are two NOTAMs out for NCL:
