Vickers VC-10 XV102 Retires to

Bruntingthorpe Airfield on the 12th December 2011

 

 

I spent several hours at Bruntingthorpe Airfield on Monday 12 December, awaiting the arrival and then

photographing Vickers VC-10 XV102 on it's final flight before its retirement, the aircraft is

then to be broken up.

XV102 did a couple of fly throughs before landing in some beautiful light, I was then

able to get close to the aircraft and even get access to the cockpit.
Even at the age XV102 has reached it's still in immaculate condition.

During my visit to Bruntingthorpe I also managed to photograph

a few other aircraft on the airfield.
