Final 'final' flight of XH 558 yesterday from Doncaster Robin Hood airport, captured by planesTV.com after their live stream failed....
" ..XH558 - Farewell old girl. You did this country proud. Never will we see the likes of you again. Doomed to spend the rest of your life in a hangar or with a bit of luck fired up for fast taxi runs. I was so lucky to have seen her fly on numerous times - most recently at Teesside Airport on the first day of her two part flight around the country as part of her final farewell tour. I was also lucky to have heard her famous howl on numerous occasions. I also saw two Vulcans in nuclear, antiflash white come in to land from RAF Akrotiri, Cyprus at RAF Luqa, Malta and then taxi past me while I was sat in the cockpit of a Lightning when I was with 11 Squadron. Per Ardua Ad Astra..." .....Robin Patrick Ellwood
