The only place you'll find the flying display schedule will be in the Official Programme, purchased on the day inside RIAT. No doubt priced very competitively

If Sunday goes ahead, timings have now changed (and are subject to further change). Vulcan XH558 display & depart 16.30hrs.

Lets hope 558 can thrill her followers on Sunday or we might be watching on Sky One "When Spotters Go Bad" !!!

Confusing.

The Vulcan will be displaying at 16:30 Sunday, but only for those who have purchased a ticket, whilst eating a ham sandwich, and singing an ABBA song backwards. Those who have only had a marmite sandwich will be asked to look the other way.

If you have a peanut butter sandwich, valid for Saturday only, you will be allowed to hear the vulan with your left ear but not the right one.

People with chicken sandwiches are asked not to attend, as crisps will not be available on the gates either day.

To get a refund on your kit kat, email [email protected]


Thank you.

Thumbs up

Ignoring AIDU's repetitive joking (too puerile to be called banter, I'm afraid)....

Being one of the hordes who posted my ticket off to "RIAT refunds" today, imagine my joy when XH558 appeared over my garden in W. Berks at about 1700L this afternoon, on her way down to Farnborough.

Made my day.

AIDU - be a good chap and go and join in with an accident, the more dangerous the better, thanks.

AIDU, your spiteful schadenfreude is not welcome on PPRuNe.

Tens of thousands of people will have been extremely disappointed at the reluctant decision to cancel RIAT 2008; your puerile jibes will do little to reduce that disappointment.

Please would you delete your very unpleasant posts.

Not only dissapointment - think about all the volunteers who take time off work - normally their holiday time, to put the show on, they have lost a lot of their UNPAID time.

Delete your posts or better still yourself.
