Above the racket of my lawnmower I heard an unusual sound overhead earlier today. Four Conways! It was a VC10! It overflew Chesham (nr Bovingdon) at about 3000 ft about 1315 local time, heading 220ish. Was it the last flight of the last a/c? Fifty years ago I saw the prototype in BOAC colours inbound to LHR.

A sad moment.

Edited to add: other threads have confirmed the a/c was en route to Dunsfold for its final landing.
