47 years and 2 months after the first airplane was delivered to the Royal Air Force, the last ever VC-10 operational flights from RAF Brize Norton took place today 20 Sept 2013
ZA147 airborne as "Tartan 52"
closely followed by ZA150 as "Tartan 51"
Sadly, a sight never to be seen again
And an immaculate flypast over the home of 101 Squadron
ZA150 "Tartan 51" lands at Brize Norton for the final time
and just behind is ZA147 "Tartan 52", and is the last ever VC-10 to land at Brize Norton
And the final taxi back to the ramp - I can't help but wonder what the crews were feeling at this point
Jolly Good Show by the boys and girls at 101 Squadron
Very glad I was there.
Sincere thanks to Brize Norton ATC for their generous hospitality
