Still Loves Emma Bunton. Roy McDonough is God!
Pretty much my favourite military plane of all time. Saw them donkeys years ago doing manoeuvres in Lincolnshire while still in active service. If you ever have a chance to read the full story of the Falklands bomb run I'd recommend it. The logistics were incredible. This was a plane well past its sell by date, effectively on the point of being decommissioned.
Point of order. I thought the real issue was concern over flying hours. Well past what it should be for the frame which is I think why the one at the airport can't take off though it is certainly capable of doing so (or was before the overhaul). I assume if it taxied it is capable again.
If you get a chance to see it this year do so it is majestic. Videos can't do it justice but there are some good ones out there.
