You should rather ask this question in "Aviation History and Nostalgia"
If you do so, don't forget to delete this post as cross-posting is not really welcome on Pprune.

Exactly, Mr Bre; aviation-related threads are rarely tolerated here in Jet Blast. This is the place for trivia, nonsense, bad jokes and lively political propaganda... erm, banter.

Heh heh heh.

according to the museums website it is still due to be in london on the 13'th. i dont know much about sailing a barge up the north sea, but im sure i read that it would take about 5-7 days to get there. Probably going to be sometime around 18-20th before it docks at torness.

im sure they will update their website as they get the info.

I managed to get the rough dates.
thought i'd share:

The aircraft is expected to arrive in Scotland on the weekend of 17
to 18 April when it docks at Torness in East Lothian. It will then be
manoeuvred back onto land and the A1 to finish its journey to the
Museum of Flight by low loader.

cheers
