It's a shame about Biggin, but I was already pretty certain that wasn't going to happen. Shame, as that was the only thing that would have got me to have gone this year.

558 is down to do the big three. Waddington, RIAT and Farnborough (Public Days). The Farnborough posters only have two aircraft on - the new Air Bus and the Vulcan, so expect action (from the Vulcan!)

Hi have heard 558 will fly Friday weather permitting of course to sort out the radio fault will be up about an hour or so then back in to Brunty.
Hopefully then MA will allow paperwork to go forward too the CAA for them to issue permit heard this will take about a month, then they have too sort out the permit too display Waddo will be a close one though I think.
Any more news will let you know

Hi, I was under the impression that the paperwork had already been sent to the CAA around the time of the club AGM. Does anyone know for sure ? Shame about Biggin Hill, living an hour up the road it would have been the nearest show to me 
oh well what's another year.

BBC Look East had an interview with MA's Chief Test pilot about the proposed flight. Hope that means another "overhead Cambridge" Friday (Hint Hint)

Vulcan 903, where did you get that gen from ref the DA, the TVOC/Marshalls guys (engineering) are saying that the test flight is to confirm that the radio/avionic problems have been fixed, which was picked up while Marshall went through the test flight paperwork/data and the DA cannot be awarded untill the Permit to Fly has been awarded, which apparently will not happen untill Marshalls are happy with the air test results. You are right that all being well the test flight will be tomorrow. Unless the TVOC club/forum members are being kept in the dark.
Lou DeCrosse, Thanks for that, I know what can be done but TVOC do not want to risk any delays by trying to rush the process, in case it has an adverse effect to the project, for that I cannot blame them really.
Vulcan 903, thanks for your reply also, but you didn't need to change your post, it was just I was at Bruntingthorpe Sunday and then some gen was also posted within the forum and it was muted that it could be another week before the CAA could give a PTF depending on the next air test results.
