Flypast at Finningley

I watched a VC10 and a Meteor (G-LOSM I think) do a number of flypasts around lunchtime on September 15th. I know this was BoB day, but I struggled to find any other more specific connection. I think Meteors were based there at one time, but VC-10s? Was it a squadron thing (saying goodbye to Finningley one last time?). Who was there to see it?

It was interesting to see the two aircraft fly what looked like a typical down-wind leg prior to an overflight of the runway, as they passed right over my house. It'll be nice to see some traffic again.
