Vulcan appearance

Not confirmed on the VTTS web site yet but if it's to happen, it will probably be its final display flight. Fore sure, a massive cowed can be expected and lots of traffic jams if the public response around the rest of the UK is anything to go by.. Eye watering time - again!

Time to invest in a couple of boxes of tissues 'cos it's happening!

Good luck EESDL, I'm sure it'll be a raving success.

XH558 is booked and was showing on VTTS website list and will most likely be her last outing in the sky's.

The show site has been updated and now has a download PDF (which has some rather strange comments on about Waddo) for anyone wishing to come for Trade/Exhibitor.

Hueymeister - you get around ;-)
Huge smile as soon as I read the 'motto'

anybody wishing to fly-in - it is now £15/seat, book online, that includes entry etc etc
Still looking for static displays as 450-acres to fill ;-)

Web site is pretty much sorted now

The GNAT team hope to be back in the air in time - cracking way to honour their colleague

any other questions best contact me direct: [email protected]

EESDL, are you looking for any re-enactment/living history displays? I know a group of lads who do 1980's BAOR and are always looking for new events to attend.

The Vulcan will save the day! The fact that CF will probably be its last ever display is going to bring many people out regardless.

Air Day

Does anyone know if this display is still on. I offered them a Hunter T7 (XL573, now grounded) but hopefully not for long, but I have not heard from the organisers and clearly Hunter T7 Fox1 will not be going.
I also offered a Pembroke C1 for the static but again heard nothing.

Waddo

As no waddo next year it is a note to traders explaining why there is no fee applied for a stall at Fenton - numbers are unknown but 2-day show in-lieu of Waddo will have different T&Cs - or atleast that is how I read it!
Makes no difference - for a trader to attend for nowt at an airshow where there is traditionally a strong following - and with the Vulcan's last display.........
almost worth taking my gazebo along and getting in for free.............

Mark Stott have you had any time scale on the grounding by the CAA yet ? does the ban apply to the HAA at Scampton?

EESDL, i have sent you a email, they are doing well on the tickets! any idea what a cut off in numbers will be at and do you know how many attended the very last airshow at Fenton ?


also the Vulcan has plans to display in October now so wont be her final display of the year at Fenton.

The lad
HHA were never grounded apparently according to the Key Historic forum they come under MAA not CAA .
1.3VStall
The Vulcan is planning a 2 day last couple of flights around the country one weekend in October similar to the one they did earlier this year as a farewell its on there website.
Best
