Ah, good old XL321, AKA Rusty Bin.

I was (un)fortunate enough to see her off on her final flight to catterick along with another aircraft.

Should have been a straightforward flight, with the North Yorks Police closing the A1 to allow the 2 kites to land as close as possible to the start of the short runway.

The only thing that marred the whole plan, was that the times the Police were given, were in Zulu, and they turned up at Local time, to see a bit of a traffic problem as the aircraft had already landed and cars had stopped to get a better view.

IIRC '321 was the highest houred Vulcan on the fleet.
