Just spotted this one, and it's a good video to watch, that...
I vaguely recall, and sadly it is just vague memories due to my age, seeing one of these at Farnborough I think when I was much younger, and being scared silly by the noise :oops: :oops: Slightly poignant moment seeing the bomb bays painted with "farewell" - must be around retirement date I guess

Must try to get along to one of the dates listed on the website, methinks

I'm guessing you're an officer or CI then? I used to be in Stonehaven 1297 sqn. Some great times were had!
When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.
