High in the sky

Imagine my surprise whilst driving out the Durris road just up from Maryculter, jsut beyond the field of cows and ostriches, (strange bedfellows), when goin aroun a bend and coming across this old, restored airplane.
it is grounded now, obviously, and will nolonger soar to great heights. It is though, an old Hawker Sidley jet.
According to Wikipedia, Hawker Siddeley was a group of British manufacturing companies engaged in aircraft production. Hawker Siddeley combined the legacies of several British aircraft manufacturers, emerging through a series of mergers and acquisitions as one of only two such major British companies in the 1960s. In 1977, Hawker Siddeley became a founding component of the nationalised British Aerospace (BAe). Hawker Siddeley also operated in other industrial markets, such as locomotive building (through its ownership of Brush Traction) and diesel engine manufacture (through its ownership of Lister Petter). The Company was once a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index.
Since it is still sunny, I am awarding myself with an extra day off today, and just going to spend the rest of the day lazing out in the back garden.
