I remember one occasion as the other guy was now on a low long final, him clicking the mic button with the free advice, "look left and right for trains..."
RAF Cosford museum has had a few final flights that needed careful coordination with the railway timetable. Biggest AC, Smallest Airfield
Among the aircraft that have made one way trips are VC10, B707, and Vulcan.

Some of the aircraft at Duxford museum were flown in shortly before the runway was shortened when the M11 was completed.

There was also the Red Arrow that crashed into a 44 foot yacht mast near Brighton https://aviation-safety.net/wikibase/55501
