The sound of those engines at full tilt ...just wow.
Any plans to make it a static attraction like the concorde?

Not when they wake you up every morning! Used to live on an RAF base and those things revving up made a bit if noise!

Also I must be one of the few people to have seen the damage one of the bombs from these things can do close up, the crater was huge!

Amazingly it doesn't seem to be flying over Chadd. Going over Warton & Samlesbury, which had nothing to do with it but not over Chadderton, where it was designed and the sub-assemblies were built. Coming into Barton from Warton over Westhoughton, Atherton & Tyldesley then turning SW to Lymm, where it's going to turn and fly up to Woodford via Knutsford. They flew over the Chadderton factory after the Falklands War.

Actually, looking at the route, it seems to be avoiding built-up areas, which I guess is understandable after Shoreham..

Checked yesterday and it said it was flying over chadderton. Just looked now and it's not

Might try and get down to Woodford or Barton instead now

This is a picture of the one at Woodford I took last October when I had to do some surveying one morning for a contractor.

I've been in Whitefield all afternoon, so gutted as Woodford is only 10mins away from mine.
Anybody got any photos of it?
As a side note I've only just realised that Robin Hood airport is Doncaster airport and not east Midlands as I thought it was.
Silly Billy.
