I saw BL655 at East Kirkby earlier this year. It captivated me and I’m still not sure why.

The best reason I can come up with is I know what a beautiful machine it was (and to some extent still is), yet it represents such a violent end to a young man’s life and to the machine itself.

All I kept thinking of while I was looking at it were the words to “High Flight”.

All in all a very poigniant display of the remains.
