Ok, the cars packed for any weather conditions (hot thermos and spade) at the Port for the next few days. Are there any confirmed times for fast jets both days and time for the Vulcan if serviceable. 

A spade??

Are you expecting snow?  ;D

BBC Newsline announced that the Vulcan is due in TOMORROW.

Did the reporter screw up or is this a bonus?

Hi, I am told that the vulcan can not afford to land in N.I. ------the bbc to-night live from portrush stated that Vulcan will display on Sat.!!!!! but the Vulcan site says Sunday! I hope it is Sunday as I am using the train to get there on Sunday to see the Vulcan at 5pm.  Best wishes, Merlin Man. -------- I checked the VULCAN site, aircraft fully operational for Sunday!

I'm pretty certain it'll be Sunday if it makes it. The Vulcan website is only mentioning Sunday.

Well now I'm sorted I wasn't sure which day to go as I had to rely on the train. I phoned about rooms tonight with little sucess. Tried the Ramada and one had just been cancelled so settled on staying there and going both days. Looking forward to it maybe see some of you there.

Hi ToNY89 sorry no I have not had any details. If I do get anything I will pass it on. Ringo I'm for Ramore I think as I've tried Blackrocks before. It was good for the stuff in the bay but for me I think for the fast jets Ramore Head is best. I'll probably float around anyhow maybe see you up there, I'll be the old small guy with glasses and a lens nearly bigger than me; lol.

It's all over facebook at the moment. I haven't a clue what they are on about. Probably just a ploy to get more visitors. If it's something good I will not be a happy camper.

The surprise is probably that there is no surprise  :P
 
Does any one know what time it starts at tomorrow? I assumed it began at 12 but I think I read that it started at 11 today?
