At 10:30 GRFE291 climbed out of RAF Brize Norton on its tremendous, record breaking air refuelling mission carrying 291+ Geoffrey Giraffes from the public, and members of the Giraffes On Tour Facebook Group.

The day was surreal, to be on board Voyager ZZ337 with all the people who had worked so hard to make this amazing flight happen was most definitely a privilege and a bucket list item for most of us, and certainly a first for all of us and what finished up to be 330 Giraffes.
