[Dave T]

Thank you will you post them on this site?

That's odd. The Vulcan is advertised for the Shuttleworth Uncovered Airshow on 4th October. http://www.shuttleworth.org/events/uncovered/

Note that the event is sold out for non-SVAS members.

The facebook link could well be wrong, I have found you may well be right about the 4th of October. The link seems to be dead and I can't edit the post.

The post on Facebook actually says "the last ever flight of Vulcan XH558 with The Red Arrows".

Thanks for the heads up I might have jumped the gun a couple of weeks early it looks like the 10th/11th of October might be its last flight according to the Manchester evening news.
Northern route 10th October 2015

Southern route on the 11th no map

Thanks for the info.

You asked for photos. In case you didn't see them I posted some back in July of XH558 at the Shuttleworth Military Pageant.
This was possibly my last chance of seeing the old girl --> http://forums.simviation.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=40&t=172842

A coincidence that both of the Vulcan's final displays have been in Bedfordshire, unless I'm mistaken. The first last display, whilst still on the RAF's books was at Cranfield.

Thanks the routes for the weekend still have not been confirmed and its FINAL FLIGHT in the middle of October still waiting for a released route for the weekends flights the weather forecast is looking good so might take the bike out for a run somewhere near Finingley.
