What are they going to do with it when it reaches Kemble? Put it up for auction or stick it in a museum? Its always sad to see airframes go, but life goes on, feel the same about my series 2a Landy , 1966, but apart from a flat battery, its a good one, just like the RJ, made in Great Britain and proud of that.
Delighted and nice to see the new fleet being introduced, should mix well with the Flybe business model in a couple of years.
