Looks like Mrs S and I will be staying just outside Bournemouth at Ringwood from 21st to 23rd having a post wedding recovery weekend all to ourselves..... didn't realise it was Bournemouth Air Show that weekend (oh yes I did :))

)...........

So I might get to see XH558 - at last - any news on her appearance there - ETAs and the like would be much appreciated

How does she put up with you? :-o

Come and see us on the stand - we're there Thursday to Sunday! Some of the aircrew not flying that weekend are making guest appearances (well, eating biscuits, drinking coffee and the odd bit of signing!).

How does she put up with you?

Easy - I was 'in' to aircraft before she was 'committed' - so what you see is what you get

Plus the fact that deep down she really wants to see XH too

Are you admitting to being a KOS?

Now if that's King Of Style - serpently not - Man at Blue Harbour is just one step up from Man At Milletts =))

Perhaps it's Kill On Sight - deffo not

So I'm not admitting to anything :ymblushing:

Arriving Friday PM ...till Monday AM ..... working on Thursday unfortunately

Hope she doesn't go 'spanners' on me - waited a long time for this - come on Taff you can do it

good luck and happy hunting
p.s. dont forget the photo's

by **Gully** » Thu Aug 13, 2009 11:25 am

If you happen to be taking your time on the slow boat to Bournemouth, you should see '558 display at Dawlish on the Thursday...

In fact, I'm led to believe that she'll be visible at all points along the coast between Bournemouth and Dawlish if the flight plan comes together! :ymapplause:

Methinks a spot on the Overcliff may be called for on Thursday 20th.

by **Stigish** » Thu Aug 13, 2009 10:31 pm

If she's coming down the coast from Dawlish i'll definately see her from the roof at work $\:D/$
If anyone knows what time I might even manage to get to the overcliff & back in my coffee break.........

Edit...........4pm-ish on the way to Dawlish

I get as much pleasure seeing her flyby as I do from seeing her at an airshow - it's feels as if she flys by just for me
