Just a guess but being so close to Waddington, I guess that she will depart from Doncaster and go straight to the show, stay there Saturday night then display again on Sunday then depart for Doncaster after her display.....Just my thoughts but could be wrong. :thumbs:

Hi flyingslug_0

Thanks for your help, much appreciated... I can see the logic in what you are saying, you could very well be right.

Thanks again.

Thursday being Press day, would expect her around midday.

As the under wing tours are very popular I would certainly expect her to arrive before the display an Saturday to make the most of the time she has on the ground.

As far as I recall it has always arrived Thursday pm, presumably to tie in with press visits.

Is there any reason that will not be the case this year?

Sod who then? I would imagine any request to keep arrival news quiet would be from Waddington rather than VttS.

I expect there will be flight updates on twitter and farcebook nearer the time.

Funny how they want the public to know when they want money to keep it flying but don't want them to know when it does actually fly.

That's just rubbish. They pretty much always disclose their flights via twitter and facebook unless they've been specifically asked not to.

If Waddington have asked them not to give out flight arrival information for some reason then out of courtesy VttS wont, but I still expect there will be a twitter update regarding a flight to Waddo within the next couple of days.

People coming on and saying things like I have info but am not allowed to say is just stupid and only stirs up the pot.
