The full words...

Speedbird One - “I would like to thank you all, ATC, all the fans at the end of the runway on their airband radios, and to some of the media who have supported this aeroplane over the years, I would like to dedicate this last 001 take-off. But I can say that if this magnificent machine was alive, it would be crying supersonic tears tonight."

ATC – “Well thanks for that, and we're all sorry up here as well.”

Speedbird One - “3 2 1 NOW” - Commander Adrian Thompson holds RT open for the throttles.

Thousands at the end of 9R then watch the reheats for the final time, on the last "Double Oh One" to KJFK.
