One of the serviceman who are completing in the Invictus games in Orlando, has posted this onto twitter this morning....

Think ROC was used as a prop for the photo. Saw a video of the team on board and it was an aircraft with the standard LGW leisure fit in economy - which ROC did not have.

Just noticed on Flightradar that she has left LGW heading south west but with no destination. Does anybody know where she is headed for?

Yes, very sad. Saw her go overhead for the last time at lunchtime on her way to Arizona. Hopefully only stored and not scrapped as I think she's only 12 years old. Life in the middle-aged girl yet surely!

G-VROS.....

So sad to see these beautiful 744's going. She brought me home from JFK in 2014.

My favourite aircraft ever, Lady Penelope, has gone too.

Aviation will be less exciting with these Queens all leaving.

I think it's your "G-VROS...." signature causing a bit of confusion.
