Farewell my Friend
I say friend as I have had the pleasure of actually working on this beauty from 1975 -1978 at RAF Waddington .Fitting the crew s lifesaving equipment ,Parachutes , Life Rafts and life jackets ..not to mention scooping up her HUGE parachute on deployment after landing !.. you didn't get much time on the runway either to do it ..
I have to add she is retiring from flying ,not being scrapped ,but will be available to view at the old RAF Finningley Air Base which is now Robin Hood Airport .
