Sorry it's only a scan..... "FAREWELL" as shown at it's last public RAF display at Cranfield airshow... whilst they played the last post. Those that were there will remember, not a dry eye in sight....
I honestly thought I'd never see it fly again...... Then I got to sit in her at RIAT 2009 and see her fly 4 times in 4 days.
Well done to all involved once again. :vulcan:
