I'm lucky as where I live its quite a regular sight practising its display etc. Its usually accompanied by a Lancaster, DC3 and the amazing soundtrack of the Spitfire & Hurricane! :happy2:

Yesterday she was coming back from Northern Ireland and Blackpool. :smiley:

Don't think so, as I am at Goodwood Revival this year and XH558 is listed on the program as performing some flybys. Will be a sad day when she is grounded, that's for sure...
