I tried possting some pics and a video in an new thread, but unfortunately I ended up having to put a link to VTSC forum as it was proving to difficult to re-size and the video link did not work. Lincoln (Helen) has posted a video of the flypast that the crew did after we pointed out that the WAVE area was full and they had half an hour to waste so to speak due to being to late to do any practice at yeovilton.

On arrival at Yeovilton, '558 came as close to a touch and go as I've seen since restoration. Lovely missed approach, with a howling application of power when the wheels were only 5 - 10 feet off the runway! :D :D
