Disregard. I guess if it's on the back of a truck, it'll be there permanently, :o.

Would have been great to be along side the road somewhere to see it go past. Shame they are being retired..super plane!!!

O/T but similar story over in the US of A, moving an F-16 in Thunderbirds colours to a museum as well this week.would of been great to drive behind, bit on the slow side but still!

Had a look at the defence site today and they have put up its collection of photos. Some great ones in there.
