I took a ride up to Salmesbury to watch the old girl sail past. It was quite magnificent. Very very quiet, and a lovely lazy right turn towards Warton and she was gone. Quite a contrast to the 'high energy' show she put on at Southport.
I was parked at KFC on the A577 on the south of the old airfield, and the road (double yellowed) was lined with cars parked everywhere. One Lancashire Traffic car meandered down the line and thankfully just carried on its way, obviously fully aware of the significance of today's event.
It will be a shame that she will no longer fly round these parts, but I would like to extend my gratitude to all those who have flown her, fixed her, and paid for her during the past few years.
