I remember when the shuttle came to Stansted about 30 years ago, before it went on to the Farnborough airshow. It was perched on top of a 747 and did a flyby before landing. We stood on a bridge over the M11 and watched it. I seem to remember that we then walked up to the airfield and were allowed to get quite close to it. Must have a photo somewhere, but where...?

I will look at the replay because I must get some brick laying done while it's nice. ;)

Last space walk looked good  :).
It's just said on the press conference from Nasa that a 1"x6" strap floated away from the payload bay while the space walk was in progress and is orbiting the earth now. :'(

That must have happened when I had to go out for a while. Well it won't happen again from the shuttle bay!

What a very successful mission (re-plays on Nasa TV) and a good 30 years of shuttle flights ..
A great program on the BBC tonight, Shuttle The Final Mission. See it on the iplayer. (I think there's two shuttle programs on the iplayer for a week).
