    Great shots! She pulled up nice and sharp, didn't she! Then again, I suppose it was easily done with only her own weight on board. The 777 still stands as my favourite of all aircraft that I've flown on, not that I'm as experienced a flyer as many, so it's especially sad to watch the sun slowly going down on them. Still, thankfully we've got all this great footage of them, capturing the sights and fantastic GE-90 sounds!

    Excellent vid. I used to sweep that runway and hangars and rooms when it was RAF St. Athan and I was an air cadet and we'd go there for gliding which was routinely cancelled so we'd end up being given shit jobs to do to keep us busy. Sad to see those great planes there because of the bigger tale it tells, but good to see the place kept open. That runway's a bit short for some of those aircraft though, I would've thought.

    Great video mate. I have flown on that beautiful aircraft dozens of times. First time was a week after she went into service. I think it’s tragic that they are destroying these birds because It’s my firm belief that the Boing 787 fleet will start falling apart very quickly. These first 3 have a good 6 to 8 years left in them for Trans Atlantic work.
