Vulcan does track on Flight Radar. G-VLCN has worked for me in the past. :ok:

Thanks SWB.

Now just gone 1200. No updates on FB for an hour, and no timings on the map on the VTTS website. So hope my guesswork on my part, and a timetable on FB then removed will give us a chance of being around Windemere at the right time!

Just watched it going over Ironbridge!

Waving and flag flying as it passed over Azerley at 1327. Thanks Bill and crew!

Superb timing and navigation! Just back from a short trip to Snugburys where the Vulcan crossed the A51 on track and on time at 15:24 local.

Was at the Woodford airfield site just now - huge crowds and a very dignified flypast.

The 5 seconds of near full power with accompanying "sound of freedom" will be remembered for a long time...........

For tomorrow ... The XH558 Twitter feed might be a good 'Plan B' in terms of receiving Track Updates if other Web Tracking Apps fall over ...

Nice view near breighton, just the four of us in a field watching as it did a 360 around the airfield perimeter, lovely.

Tens of thousands around EGNX, roads blocked with abandoned cars, jets holding for it, Vulcan hoves into view in far distance, banks left and disappears leaving thousands of disappointed people, just as well it's grounded at the end of the season as a lot of donators appeared to be saying never again.. Total no show.

Twitter feed suggests 'Looks like departing traffic prevented approach to East Mids...'

nacluv 10th Oct 2015 16:07

Missed it, as it traversed north of Derby over half an hour ahead of the posted transit times... :*

Herod 10th Oct 2015 16:55

Has anyone got a departure time for tomorrow? I can't seem to find it anywhere, and knowing that it will transit North Weald at +25 is not a lot of help.

spekesoftly 10th Oct 2015 17:30

From what I can gather, tomorrow's departure time won't be released until after crew briefing on the day, but they hope to give at least two hours notice of ETD.

JointShiteFighter 10th Oct 2015 18:06

As we get closer and closer to the 31st, I am beginning to get more bitter towards the technical authorities. Bolleaux to them, this isn't about capability, it's about politics and power.
