Too many parallels,
Reminds me of the last Maersk 1-11 retired, off to CVT it did go.
All the staff that could get away watched about three or so passes over the runway at BHX from the roof of Head Office. Then a flyby down the A45 past head office, a waggle of the wings in salute to a fantastic machine as a final goodbye. Alas it was goodbye.
Let's hope someone keeps the 748 flying in the UK, not just a memorial to great aircraft design, but the spirit of aviation many have tried to keep alive.
Wish I knew then..........................If it ain't Boeing, I ain't going, no, Biggles up the front, 60's British technology, three more days to get there...........fine by me.
The manufacturers have gone, the airlines are going.
