I recently downloaded the XH558 "app" to my iphone.
This afternnon the "App" has been sending me messages every 3 or 4 minutes that the aircraft is in the air TODAY but I cannot find anything about why. It has been over Northampton for the last 2 hours according to the "App".
The "Status" section tells me - Crew in 12.21, Engines started - 12.39, Taxi - 12.49, Airborne - 12.57.
Is this a private display, a practise for tomorrows Cold War run or something else?
My first use of the "App" was on Sunday while I was standing on Southport Pier awaiting XH558 to appear. The App told me it was over Preston, then 3 minutes later, it was over Carnforth? yes Carnforth (Thats 20 miles NORTH of Preston). I was telling people to look north for its first appearence when somebody else shouted - "There it is" pointing towards Liverpool - to the south. So is the tracking "app" actually any use when it is telling people duff information?
It's now 15.28 and it is still airborne over Northampton. Anybody got any news about this? Or is the "App" playing up?
