I have flown 558 and most of the other B2's. I must confess that when I was posted to the aircraft I was not impressed! (You should never have more than two crew in a military aircraft!!). However, I did come to enjoy flying the beast and had many happy times with it (and all the mates!!). My point now is that it will be great (for many) to have 558 flying in this Jubilee year but that should be the end! The amount of money gathered over the years would /could have been better used! (Probably would not have been donated, however, if I am realistic!!). Anyway, good luck this year and let us hope we get a spin-off to military charities.
