The L-1011 Left but is supposed to back, but the typhoons look like they are getting ready to leave. That is all but 1. I am waiting for them to leave and thwy are still here. It is about 145 as I post this. With that being said I have no idea when they are leaving. I might miss it whicb is sad because these things sound amazing!!!!

@ future – think before you post as this may be the last time you will see the VC-10 as it is bwing retired. This aircraft is apartment of history and nothing beats that feeling when you hear it or see it up close. So please be respectful of history!!!!

My kids were so excited to see them on our way home parked at the airport. To bad we will miss them when they leave. We love watching them take off so cool. Bernews will you be doing a videos of them leaving ? Nothing beats watching them up close and in person though. Thanks for the pictures Bernews

careful with taking pictures of these craft because most are on top secret missions around the earth, and security can be compromised therefore by another nation which could use that information against them in tactical warfare.

Yup, VC-10..won’t see too many of either for much longer, being replaced by the Airbus MRTT which is based on the A330

From what I gathered from the RAF chap we spoke to this afternoon, the VC-10 departs tomorrow at noon but will return later in the afternoon.
@Future…seriously? You’re sad.

Unfortunately, the VC-10 is very close to its expiry date, as it’s going to be retired within the year. With any luck, they’ll preserve a few for museums and not turn them all into beer cans.

The fighters are Eurofighter Typhoons
The tanker is a Tri Star [BA used them as passenger carriers Bermuda ~ Heathrow in the 80's and 90's]
The support aircraft I am not sure of…and old VC 10 ?
