Will be going, but still waiting for the posty to deliver the tickets!!!

Parking should be ok, but expect some queues getting in and out!

Dizee - I think you can tickets on the day, should be £28. I've bought them on the gate before.

Details here:

Farnborough Ticketing

Some of the details of the event here:

Farnborough Flights

The last surviving Vulcan is flying - it took a group of enthusiasts years to raise the funds and the expertise to get this back to flying status smile

Yeah, I liked that but it seemed slower than the A380 rotate

Agreed, it would be pretty intimidating if you saw it fly over you back in the day withs it nuclear cargo and the doors on the bottom openning up.

Didnt think it was that bad. But overall its not RIAT.

Got some good pics but the chaos in the car park after was a big lesson learned!
