I'm actually surprised 617 Sq haven't sent up an escort from lossie if they're still there, to keep her company on the way down, would have made some good photo opportunities over the hills, I'm sure some of the crews would have been up for it...

She went right over the top of them, that must have been prearranged, far too much of a coincidence...
