Having had the priviledge to have flown on her twice (AE and AF) - I had to go and see her off at Cardiff on Thursday...... not a dry eye in the house.
My head says that she had to go - noisy, dirty and just not profitable... but my heart says she was the business.
I for one will miss her..... she was the best of the best. In the words of Jeremy Clarkson - yesterday, Britain slid further toward Third World status. For the first time ever, technology has gone backward; yesterday, the US was 3:40 away, now it is 7:40......
Bless her - the reason some of us dream....
