What time did it pass Worcester, please, would like to try and get a shot of the last one next week! I did spend an hour at the M5 Sunday hoping to see it, but not the right hour :D

hi
XV217 passed J9 M5 around 11.30 today, managed to see it this week, seems I missed it by minutes last week (typical). Big thanks to Rick for your help. :thumb:

What a sad terrible sight. I know their airframe life is up but i just hate the "scrapping" lark. Yes it needs to be done but would prefer to see it in a corner of an airfield or in a museum.
