See you there, should be a good show!

Any ideas whether the Mig-15 and B-17 made it to Bristol and VL?

No worries Sally!

Found out earlier that Sally B was unable to get down today so is landing at Yeovilton after her display tomorrow!

Still unware of the current status of the Mig!

Ah okay, understandable with regards to Sally B. Been searching as well about the Mig but can't see anything at all on Twitter etc.

Saw Sally B overhead my house near RAF Henlow earlier this afternoon so she certainly set off from Duxford.

Just returned home from Weston, excellent day apart from the lack of the B-17 and Mig-15! :(

Technical issue I believe, stuck in Europe! Could lead to a Cosford cancellation tomorrow. :(

Planning on going tomorrow. Can anyone suggest a good time to get there for. I was thinking of getting there for about 9:00, but I'm not sure if that's leaving it a bit to late to avoid the traffic. All I can remember of last year is people still queuing at 1:00pm trying to get on the beach.

9 will be fine mate. Me and my old man got there for about 9:30ish. Was easy getting in. Have fun, was a decent day today. Awful for pictures though but thankfully no rain! Shame Sally B never showed up or the MIG. Typhoon done a cracking display as usual, swear he dropped a little too low for 1 of his split S manoeuvres ;)

Typhoon was rather low at one point!

Heard that the B-17 hit a runway light on landing at Yeovilton. :(

Typhoon display was worth the trip alone, almost made up for the lack of no Vulcan :pop:

Typhoon was quality, plenty of vapour whilst keeping in the small display area, and yes, definitely low on one of his pull outs
