Oh how I shall miss them !

I know it's not the best shot in the world and, frankly, it's not like me to get overly sentimental, but I just couldn't resist posting just this one shot. a) they are facing the wrong way....they are normally nose toward the runway and b) it's not been very often in recent years you see 14 of the beasties lined up!

Soon to be gone....never to be forgotten

Me too. Low level in the Lakes is going to very quiet when these go - sad day

lovely pic but they are facing the right way to allow for clearance as they taxi away from dispersal. At least the tutors will remain for now!

Lovely photo.
How many blanks have been saved by a Tuc' in the hills ?
I'll miss them.

For me, loads. As much as I like the jets going at warp 7, in the LL areas, I always liked seeing a Tucano. Much better than a Hawk T1 any day.

A trip to the Lakes was never complete until I saw a Tuc !!!

The last graduation day , 274 BFJT course , is Friday 25 October with a final out of service date of Thursday 31 October so get to see one while you can !

Strange, every other time I have visited LOO the tucs were facing towards the runway. Seem the remember the JPs doing the same. Maybe I must only go on the "exception" days

Will be sad to see her go. They are even regular down here over the Brecon Beacons when on cross country land away flights. Another type gone from the valleys :-(

Agree with every comment they came over our caravan in North Yorkshire every day

It depends which runway is in use as to which way they are parked on the dispersal. Can’t for the life of me remember which way was which though.
They will be very sadly missed.
