I was, with DT, lucky to be on last revenue flight in from the Britannia, Alba FSU. Lots of pics and movies (hopefully with great sound!) were taken that day. Will attempt to collate and make available to anyone interested.
ATC Aberdeen were brilliant, very complimentary about the professionalism of the 214ST crews over the years and approved a low approach and 150kt go around over the Bristow complex. We managed to score a direct hit on the training dept , when a wallclock (in the S92 CTC's office) was dislodged by the resultant vibs.
Final ferry to Southampton proposed before end of the month. If you want a personal fly-by why not give us your GPS co-ordinates! (Speechless 2 should be right on track). Can't promise anything, but it may possible.
Can confirm Fox Noddy will sadly be broken up for spares in States.
