All change! The HS 748 cockpit has now been moved into the display hall. The 748 will be accessible to allow the flight deck to be viewed. This was the last aircraft to be developed by Avro prior to its absorption into Hawker Siddeley. #avgeek #avgeeks

Following the terribly sad news of the passing of a true hero yesterday, our beloved Johnny Johnson, only one place was suitable for some low flying and airdrop training today in the A400. The whole crew joined me in remembering him as we flew. Lest We Forget. RIP Sir.
