Vickers VC-10 XV101 Retires to

Bruntingthorpe Airfield on the 20th December 2011

 

 

I spent another few hours at Bruntingthorpe Airfield on Tuesday 20th December,

awaiting the arrival and then photographing Vickers VC-10 XV101 on it's final flight before its retirement,

the aircraft, like XV102, is then to be broken up.

XV101 did a fly through before landing in some very nice light, although it

was very cold and quite breezy.
Again, like XV102, this aircraft was in absolutely immaculate condition.

This time I was also able to photograph XV101's aircrew.
