On the subject of "one way trips" how about the 3 ? or possibly 2 Vulcans and a Comet that formerly graced RAF Halton. Halton being a very short grass strip ( not sure of the exact length ) what was even more remarkable was the fact these a/c were not used for static displays. They were, to all intents and purposes, live aircraft as they were subsequently used for training purposes as any former apprentice would confirm.
