Doing a flyby during the last operational flight of a RAF VC-10. Earlier it had carried out some tanking and then flew by various west coast locations that had dealing with the Tens over the years, 47 to be precise. Another one did the east coast. A friend of mine, Aviation Journalist, Richard Gardner is on board taking notes and photos for publishing in various journals.

Arrival at Brize after a training sortie.

Touch-down for the last time ever of the last VC-10 built, for preservation by the Brooklands Museum. Never would have dreamt I'd be taking this shot 36 years later when I took my photo of her as 5H-MOG in 1977!
