there's a good chance I've built the turbine sections of their engines. Now that I think about it, for the most of the last 2 years that my company (Rolls-Royce Plc) was rebuilding the engines at a significant rate for the RAF boys, there was only two of us who rebuilt the turbines. Since I doubt they're using older engines in these, I've probably worked on 3 out of those 6 engines in the photo! ooo errr, it's an odd thought that!

Well that was a dissapointment. Blink and you'd have missed it. When Airbus do a flypast they at least have the courtesy to do a couple of go-arounds etc. But no, just ……...WOSH..... gone. Even the ex-RAF lads thought it was taking the piss a bit :-(
