just watched it and it was quite emotional.....I really liked the old girl and loved seeing her fly. Shame we don't have the technicians anymore (the aircrew lads would argue that point) but it goes to show how good a nation we were when we had the brains to build these things.
very moving about the pilots saying we knew we'd be dropping the bomb if a certain call came in but had to laugh at the lad saying he was told to drop the bomb, carry on flying East and settle down with a nice Mongolian......coz that's all that would be left :eek
that Guy Martin is one lucky foccer too, must have been some buzz running that down the runway even if you had to slam on at the end, his grand kids will never go short on bedtime stories for sure
