So I will time the job for 3pm when the Vulcan takes off close to back of the house I am working at - and I'll take the gf's lad to see it.
BTW the Vulcan will be in Bournemouth at about 4pm if anyone from the newsgroup lives there. This new display was only anounced last night.
It was at Shoreham yesterday, they really chucked it about.

Any chance you can take this private!
I wasn't aware of it going to Scarborough, I made a trip to Blackpool to see it and the weather cancelled it, the rest of the displays are in the Deep South, Far West, Irishland or Scottishland, none of which are of any use to a large swathe of the country.
Unfair!
This is pretty central, or at least reachable by motorway and truck road:
Make that 'trunk' road a.k.a. A14.
I'm fairly certain a saw a Vulcan flying over my back garden in North Manchester when I was small. My dad told me it was a Vulcan Bomber, it was a black triangle such as I had never seen before.
It was much the same time as any helicopter seen was Basil de Ferranti commuting to work.
I had seen that listed on
It would be better all round if they flew it up to Leeds and spent a few hours throwing it around the sky here!
Live streaming of the air show.
You should try it further East!

After the show in Bournemouth it will be directly diverted to nuke Moskow. The alliance of the good needs every plane now ;-)

Not bad. It left Doncaster at 14.40. Gf's lad looked a little bored as we waited. He cheered up when it took off - he loved the noise.
Duxford ain't on the A14
Its off the M11 on the A505.
Or it could bomb Rotherham I suppose ;-)
And from Yorkshire you would use the A14 to get to the M11. About 2 hours drive for me unless it's rush hour.
well you don't need to use the A14 at all.
you could go down to Baldock on the A1 and take the 505 from there. Or any point in between - there's the A428 as well or the OLD A1 to Royston..
I'll pass on that!
You've just cost me £££s!
Tickets for both Duxford days (Vulcan Saturday, BBMF with two Lancasters Sunday - I need to hear the noise on both days) booked and paid for plus hotel.
And a trip into Cambridge in the evening I hope.
True. I was using the A14 as the connection between the A1(M) and the M11.
