On arrival we headed straight for the queue to get on her, that's Chris (the Gollum lookalike
) to the right of the tail which shows just how close we were for an early viewing.
Media and veterans were allowed/helped on first.
We were next in line when the Canadian volunteer mechanic announced no public were allowed and a guy accompanying his two kids argued that the show advertising material stipulated there were public access arrangements. He made a call and later replied that public would be allowed to board after VeRA had flown so Chris and I left the queue to what I suspect was the curiosity of some of the three to four hundred behind us who weren't aware of the situation.
This one is in honour of u_crank who asked me to give VeRA a 'pat' for his late father who served as ground crew in the squadron.

If you get up close, give her a little pat for me.
