Took a call this evening to say that the Vulcan is due to "Fly Through" Carlisle on Friday 12 September 11am.I dont know much more than that apart from its en-route to Lossiemouth and will give a bit of a flypast weather permitting.

It's actually on route to RAF Leuchars, for their show but will also fly-by Prestwick too.

Chris
Thanks for that.I did wonder if it would be Leuchars.Im pleased someone else has heard about it as I didnt want to take all the rap if it dosent turn up.With all aviation theres always a risk of a "no show" as the Southport Airshow found out on the Saturday!.
Sadly Im working and will not be able to make it down to see it do its stuff.
Cheers
Alan

May have a potter down and see. Is this well known or did you find out off an outside source?

Dont think its well known.
As Chris says its due to display at Luchars on Saturday so it is feasable that it could be passing through enroute.Sadly im working tommorow so will miss it but hopefully someone will get a photo of it.

The Vulcan was pretty good arriving from the south it performed just the 1 flyby despite the best efforts of ATC. Sadly the 2 x Typhoons who were flying with it cleared off a couple of miles shy of the airfield despite being cleared to do so by ATC (bad effort chaps). Not a bad day overall, got some good pics of a Griffon and Squirrell as well as 2 x Air Ambulances so not too bad.
