It would appear that the Vulcan has now withdrawn, but the organisers have a replacement act, it is an airfield attack with pyrotechnics by 3 x Hawker Hunters. Also worth pointing out that the RNHF are unlikely t be present too.

I wouldn't be surprised if it will be next season now before the Vulcan will appear at the air shows.
We have attended the Elvington show many times in the past & the Vulcan would have been a good crowd puller for them, especially this year with the absence of The likes of Jaguar, Tornado, Harrier and other RAF planes & the weather forecast the way it is for the weekend.Wonder how it's going?

Fingers crossed the Vulcan might make a couple of appearances this year yet. Possibly the Southport and Duxfords October show.
As for elvington i think the weather has caused a few problems this year.

It is a shame that Chris, I have just read on a forum that The Elvington show was disrupted by the weather, and that many of the aircraft scheduled to appear (and there were not that many to start with) did not attend, like the Sally B, B25 Silver Lady, BBMF Dak and 2 spits, Meteor, Swordfish, Seahawk and Sea Fury.Never heard if the Red Arrows could display.
The smaller airshows like this need a good line up to survive these days I'd imagine, up until the last year or so Elvington was a really good value and enjoyable weekend.Hopefully it wil ldo better next year.
