The RAF Britannias all initially went to Kemble before being moved on to pastures new. In September 1975, I was a relatively new first-tourist captain and got the task of taking XM489 there on its last RAF flight. On the short transit from Brize Norton, my much older and more worldy-wise co-pilot said to me "We are not going to do anything silly today, are we?". Needless to say, my arrival at Kemble was much more sedate than the one in the video!
