Saw it yesterday, near us.
For anyone interested this is the web site

I believe there are 2 more flights at the end of the month but these are yet to be confirmed, sad how pressure is being brought on them by the authorities worried about the size of the crowds it will attract, the worlds gone health & safety bonkers .

** VIEWING RESTRICTIONS AROUND ROBIN HOOD AIRCRAFT - PLEASE NOTE**
VIEWING ANYWHERE NEAR ROBIN HOOD AIRPORT IS SEVERELY RESTRICTED
& PARKING RESTRICTIONS APPLY
As the final few flights approach, we must warn you that the chances of seeing XH558 take-off and land will be slim. There are no plans for any displays or repeated circuits over the airfield and the aircraft will come straight-in to land on her return.
The police and emergency services, local authority and the airport are very much aware of growing issues. There is great risk of severe restrictions being imposed on our flight operations if matters persist. We do need to minimise the risk of enforced flight cancellations on the grounds of public safety.
Police Supt Rollitt states: “Although I understand the passion of the supporters of the Vulcan, over the past few months as we approach its final flights, more and more spectators have turned up at events where the Vulcan has been. This has started to overwhelm local authorities and emergency services. My first priority is ensuring the safety of all road users and local communities. Doncaster airport is a small commercial airport that can accommodate its passengers, however the infrastructure around it cannot accommodate a large influx of people hoping to see the Vulcan. The Vulcan trust have worked with us to satisfy the safety issue by providing a flight timetable to ensure that members of the public will get see the final flights from other vantage points around the country.”

We would request all our supporters try to view XH558 from another vantage point along the tour routes this weekend.
PLEASE DO NOT TRAVEL TO DONCASTER.
We would all obviously appreciate your co-operation on this matter. Thank you.
