You can follow her journey across the atlantic at flight radar here - http://www.flightradar24.com/
Enter CGVRA in the search bar, if she's in the air yo will see her as a red icon, altitude and speed etc are all visible in the left panel. If shes not currently flying then her flight plan will show instead. Steve

Hi everyone, Just checked on flightradar 24 (Thanks for the link Stevie_o) Does anyone know the flight schedule as it appears as if its on it's way to Vagar Airport in the Faroe Islands. Quite fascinating to watch it's progress though at the moment it's flying at around 9200ft and around 320km/h.  Regards Steve

When it looked like it was going to Vagar I thought there might have been problems as the flight plan was direct from Keflavic to Coningsby - There is also a live update feed here - http://live.cbc.ca/Event...mber_embarks_on_UK_tour

Hi Steve, Looks like things are shaping up nicely.  Received my tickets today, for the "Three Lancs" (Take two) and can`t wait to see them fly over "Just Jane". Just hope my amateur photographic skills hold up and get the results. Thanks for the updates, Regards delboy271155 (Derek) COME BACK GUY FAWKES "YOUR COUNTRY NEEDS YOU"

Hope you have or can buy, beg or borrow a camera that the occasion deserves Del, my airshow pics are always a disappointment but I think that's down to me rather the gear I use  Steve

Hi Tony / Steve,
Thank you. Banking over made the shot. Essentially a motorcycle Festival but they have the flypast on the Saturday at lunchtime.
I have another interesting shot. I will resize and post it on this forum.
Regards
Dennis

Hi Everyone, Since you liked the other picture here's the second one. Although I take multi fps I only managed a single shot this time. The sun glistened off the wings but for a split second as the Lancaster banked and came back round. regards Dennis Dennis attached the following image(s):
