I don't know if my eyes were deceiving me but i am sure a 1-11 flew over Plymouth area at around 1300hrs yesterday. I though that they were all retired.

It had the ETPS titles on the side, which is ZE432 I believe.
I thought ZE433 was still active as well but I may be wrong.
Lovely sight I agree, how about sending some VC10s this way as well?

Someone snapped some shots of 432 at Boscombe Down on 19th, along with some other interesting classics (bassett and Hip). viewable on another aviation forum.
