Looks like you had more sunshine than we had at the other end. Usual grim weather for a retirement!

Doubly ironical that this day marks the Nimrod last flight, in that figures published the same day, record BAE `s first 6 month figures are "boosted" by £125million from the MoD for Nimrod and Harrier contract termination and R.R. similarly boosted by a mere £60million from the MoD for the same termination.

Thanks for these TJ - a sad day for us all. I remember sitting in class at Elgin Academy on the day the first Nimrod arrived at Kinloss. Saw her clearly on approach in between Elgin and Lossie
