Tour of Yorkshire
Watching this cycle race they passed near DSA and there were live TV shots both from the ground and from helicopters of a DC10/MD11 landing. I didn't know there were any still flying.
Final shot was from a helicopter showing an empty airfield; nothing as far as I could see parked on the main apron.
NB The route today passed Pocklington, Howden and Holme on Spalding Moor of which Pocklington is the only airfield still in use (in case you didn't know, Howden was an airship aerodrome)

Fedex have loads of MD-11s and possibly still some DC-10s? Other cargo outfits still operate MD-11s. What time was it do you think, could try FR24...
Howden was where the R-100 was built, designers included Barnes Wallis and Nevil Shute Norway.
