Title: Ahhhhh nostalgia

This is better than the recent u-tube clip taken 2 weeks ago at Coventry, at which I was back on the F/E's panel during the ground run. I could'nt believe I spent so many hours of my life there. Well it is 43 years ago since my last Shack trip. But I must confess the sound of those Griffons brought tears to my eyes. :'( :y :y :y

Quite understandable in my opinion, Chris! ;)

What happened to the inner port engine though? :-\

Unfortunately they have had a problem with the prop on number 2 engine, it has been refitted for this year's run, but still not run yet. Spookily the commentator in this one http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oji1Bsr1i5c,  was my last co-pilot on Nimrods! :y :y :y
