Do we know what "venues" this 2011 European Tour will include?

Stranded in Salzburg for the whole winter, until both engines replaced by new ones.

Is that the same aircraft that appeared at Wroughton for the Great Warbirds air display many moons ago?

October sighting of Howard 500

This passed distantly over Sywell Aerodrome 13.45 on 25 October 2011 - info verified by airport manager. From what others are saying was this in fact the departure flight to Europe?

Here's a vid of the Howard 500 that I shot at Coventry in 2003 ( apologies for the shaky transfer, used my old camcorder as a tape transport and it expired soon after ).

Presumably Salzburg, hopefully weather related and not mechanical?:)
