At the rate this is going we are getting tempted to build our own a/c out of the 3

Thoughts that how the last minor came out

without these 3 it would still be there

God forbid. I will have you know, dear chap, that a fair amount of elbow grease, (and PX24, Skydrol, OX7, Skydrol and more Bl**dy Skydrol), went into giving you it back in pristine condition.

808 is coming up tomorrow. I trust you have had the SWOs working party on her, giving her a buff up

We do have standards here, old boy.

If only we could keep them in the condition we get them back from you. Unfortunately time takes its toll on the old girls. They still do the job even if they are looking a bit sorry for themselves. Its going to be a really sad day when the last one takes to the skies.

We keep on hearing that Steptoe & son are coming but they seem to be reluctant to appear.

At this rate Google Earth will have an updated snap shot of the site before they get going.

Well it will be all over soon either way.
BTW 104 is due to make a guest appearance at RIAT this weekend. As an aside to that I noticed today that 104's tail art has an addition, At the base of the fin is "Proudly Sponsored by British Aerospace" didn't have the camera with me today but will try and get some photos later.
