The Brits have always produced aircraft I love ...yes, all the glamour girls...Vulcan, Lightning etc. But I really have a soft spot for this old girl............

I have a soft spot for them too. I guess because I learnt my trade on them at 4TTS back in 1986 as a trainee aircraft mechanic. Later in 1998-2002 I was instructor at the school using the same airframes! I also got to fly in a civilian one ZK-KTT (ex NZ1808) a few times. Very smooth to fly in !!
