Thanks Bob. I've seen the maps too and reckon the best viewpoint for me will be McDonalds on the A4 at the very western edge of Chippenham. Looks like I may get an albeit brief glimpse of the Reds this year after all.
Cheers

Reds would have to be flying at about 100ft to be seen at the moment!

Unfortunately, the weather did not play ball and only Belfast was treated to the sight of them.

They diverted to Brize Norton (instead of Cardiff) and went straight back to Scampton from there.


Apparently, their minima are 800ft cloud base and 5km visibility.

Yes I saw on Twitter the weather had put the kybosh on their plans so I never got my quarter pounder with cheese. This is likely to be the first year since 1968 that I've not seen the Reds - always nice to see but I'm not gagging like some people on other forums!
