OASIS 747 at Southend Air Show

Are there any details on the length of the flight on Sunday in the UK and what the aircraft will do along the seafront.

Southend details

8 mins, 1604 - 1612.
500 feet flyby gear down, to be retracted passing display line.
900 feet circuit, tear drop turn down the line again, max rate climb to depart back to LGW. Short and sweet.

To be repeated at Biggin Hill on the 2nd, tell all your friends.

I had the misfortune to be in Southend yesterday (miserable weather it was too) and I seem to recall hearing that the commentator said whilst the Red Arrows were displaying that the Oasis 747-400 operated out of Manston. However, my ears being full of water, I could have been mistaken!!

Oasis Hong Kong have been training each weekend for the past few months at MSE and Sunday's Southend airshow visit was from and back to MSE.

The training at MSE usually consists of visual circuits.

I saw you at S-o-S and was most entertained, please come back next year when the weather can't be worse. Why did you not support the pass with some type of ground advertising or a stand.
