During the early 90s I used to take my family to have a 2 week break at the Headland hotel in Newquay, on one occasion it was my birthday to which my darling wife arranged a Hot Air Balloon flight during that flight we flew( with permission from the ATC) down the length of the main runway and then over the apron to overfly the GG WL 795 from about 700ft, have some very good close up piccies from that height, then much later realised I had a massive picture in my office of WL 795 on some AEW flight over a cold looking North Atlantic, nice to see the old craft looking like its just come out from Avro's factory, well done the SAS chaps,
