The BBC forecast is heavy rain from 1100 until 1900.
You should get some arrivals, but I'm not sure how many.
Still quite a bit to arrive, as I left this evening.

The most important flight of the weekend was the Red Devils UK valdation flight which was sucessfully completed today. A Voyager flew over today at a few thousand feet on the exact same route that the VC10 did prior to its flypast in recent times. The latest on the weather is that the particulary nasty stuff should be through by mid-day Saturday although rain remaining for most if not all saturday. Sunday could well be quite pleasant. There are some very good photos online already of the Harrier line up and the GR3 in particular looks stunning. The work that has gone into achieving the Harrier line up is huge. Kestrel is scheduled to join the line early Sunday morning and it has already been moved to Hangar No1.

I thought the Voyager was dropping down for a fly through, but it slowly turned away from the airfield and disappeared. Damn!
Still good to see.

Nothing.
The weather has been awful here - I can normally see the airfield from where I am, but not this morning.
Hopefully later.

Well seeing the Vulcan is never a bad thing. But I'll let you decide.
Was just passing the info on.

Well tomorrow's the big day haha! Very excited I must admit... Think the weather is going to be ok tomorrow.
the weather hasn't actually been as bad as they had predicted today so fingers crossed no totally muddy airfield haha! - I'll bring my Wellies as a precaution.
Have any aircraft arrived yet? - I have seems few people post this but the weather has been ok for a while...just wondering if any aircraft have came for the display
