Thank you so much for uploading. Listened to it live but didn't think to record it! The farewells from the controllers were very touching, tears on the flight deck and many listening on the ground too I'm sure.

No worries - glad you enjoyed it.

I was watching it live on flightradar24 that day.

Me too, on my iPad. In a pub. Needless to say when you have such a strong love for aviation, its very VERY hard not to let the waterworks start. I'm glad I had my earphones in.
