The picture is of RMO and I recall it coming out of HM and on it's first trip back after the HM. (This was back in the days of DOM OPS being at Gate 4 at Tulla.) Anyway, I was amazed at how well the engine cowling's leading edge was chromed/polished, she was looking pristine.
It is indeed sad to see her in that condition, knowing that there were engineers that took some extra effort to make her shine...
Bugger! I'm getting all misty again!
