The Vulcan and Shoreham Air Show

[wellquickwoody]

I see that the Vulcan will now be flying at Shoreham on both the Saturday and the Sunday, but does anyone know at what approximate time?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Don't know the time but it will be its last ever appearance at the air show. I remember it from when I was young, and that's a long time ago.

Probably be late in the day (was 2nd to last aircraft last year), as a lot of people leave once the Vulcan displays, so they'll want to keep people there (spending cash etc). However, a lot leaving early may ease the traffic congestion?

 

[Notters]

Hopefully it'll come over the Amex, then I won't need to bother going to Shoreham.

I'm not sure the organisers get to make that sort of call, so many variables to think about, ATC, other airshows etc.... They have warned about noisy times, which would mainly by Vulcan and Typhoon, and to a lesser extent, Sea Vixen and Hunter:-

[h=3]Saturday 22nd August[/h]

• 1.10pm – 2.10pm
• 2.30pm – 2.45pm

[h=3]Sunday 23rd August[/h]

• 1.10pm – 2.10pm
• 3.45pm – 4.10pm

Excellent, I was hoping to get a chance to see it one last time, but couldn't be arsed to go to Eastbourne.

I will do my usual, take the binoculars and hang around like Gary Glitter at a playpark next to the benches outside the Red Lion or Amsterdam. Then as soon as someone leaves I'll POUNCE, and that'll be my afternoon snorted.

I thought last ever time was Eastbourne this weekend - have I been mis-sold a free event?

If we asked nicely do you think they could fly over the Amex just before kickoff on Saturday? Make a change from Fanzone!

Fantastic photo.

There is an awesome video on youtube, if you look for it, with a lovely shot of the Vulcan swooping round the lighthouse.

Got to say the passengers on the Newhaven ferry must have had a fantastic view too.

Vulcan is at Bournemouth on Sunday at 16:36 so before or after that.

Typhoon is at Bournemouth on Sat 16:51 and Sun 16:45.

Sounds like they both could be on later in the afternoon to keep the crowds from leaving as somebody else said.

 

[cardboard]

I think the typhoon is only at Shoreham on Sunday this year.

I also saw "last time ever" last year at Goodwood Festival of speed. It`s a good selling point.
