    Not entirely unexpected, but a shame nonetheless.

    Seem to recall they said that about the 2014 season, but hey accept they cant keep this thing in the air for ever and the 2015 season is a bonus. Wonder how many more years they would have had if two engines hadn't been wrecked. Anyway, will probably toddle over to Dunsfold for its display there, it will be one of the last.

    Even if you've seen this iconic bird flying, it's well worth going to see her at the Doncaster base for a 2 hour "under wing" hangar tour from very knowledgeable staff. Dates are probably now limited as they begin the run up to the 2015 display season.
