The day the Music finally ended.. Bruntingthorpe 2013
 

A tinge of sadness as the last of the last touched down for the final time. There must have been 500 people plus to see her finally bow out... I recognised to ex crew in the crowd and she went off in style.. Thank you to Bruntingthorpe for letting us all in, the weather wasn't the best being hazy and causing the crew some problems with lining up, the mother of all invention had a vehicle off to one side of the runway with his headlights on, Brize eat your heart out.
Rumour control has it possibly being dismantled and going to Cosford?

Nice piccies!

My first flight in a 10 was as a young lad with BOAC to and from Nairobi where we lived in the early 60's.

Very impressive then and a step change from the Comet 4 which preceded it.

Sad to see such an iconic aircraft go - so much prettier than the 707 and its derivatives.

ps: Nice number plate at the end - but on a Peugeot?? :yuk:

A Bentley would have been much better!!

pps: OK - you've added a VW with an appropriate number plate - and maybe they own Bentley - but I would still prefer a proper Bentley!!

Where are you Rats when we need you!!

Even your plastic Bentley would do!!

Many thanks Nutty ... Great pictures :ok:

Coff.

If the crew involved want a copy of any let me know.
