Anyone near Brunters today, go visit!

A one off 'all aircraft' including x3 VC-10's are on the runway unti 14:00.

I'm very tempted to make the trip, but this is my only day off in the week, so I really can't be bothered. Looks like a great photo opportunity

Wow, just seen this and I'm 2 hours away, oh well!!!!
Was this advertised, maybe they should do this in the summer too. In better weather and visibility.

That VC10 on the right looks a bit nose low?

Cheers,
Jeff.

Very nice, are you allowed on the ground for a closer look?
Also where is the fifth Jet Provost?

[Gregg]

You were allowed on the ground around the aircraft, people were kept back for while to allow uncluttered pics from the cherry picker. I wasn't brave enough to go up.

[tankbuster81]

That VC10 on the right looks a bit nose low?

just to pick up on this, looking at other photos, it has all 4 engines removed, hence the tail high stance

Has anyone got a link to their facebook page, I can't seem to find it?
