Looks like she's coming straight in for a landing.
Not doing the detour tour.

Looking at the thunderstorms just south of Lincoln heading North, I am not surprised.

Not so new to the UK...

An Air-Britain member has posted - on the AB-IX private forum - a pic of FM213 (the former identity of C-GVRA) taken by him at Prestwick in May 1957 stating that it was a frequent visitor when escorting Sabres etc across the pond.

I hate you Coff..... There I was, standing under a tree just outside the Cathedral at Lincoln, thunder rumbling in my ears and rain pouring down around me, reading your message on my phone...


Looks like a direct into Coningsby

Standing under a tree in a thunderstorm sounds like Deathwish.

There was a taller chap near me, thought he would have made a better grounding point

Being vertically challenged, there is ALWAYS a taller chap standing next to me!

Nutty.
At least you didn't pay to go into the castle, lots did, they were 3 - 4 deep around the walls. Me? I just went through my back gate and walked up the field edge to the Scampton viewpoint, saw nothing and got soaked.
