Time stamp says 14:45:18.
I went to Coningsby in the end, and they came from I'd guess just south of Billinghay.

Till 2013 at the moment!

Not surprisingly a civilian firm with DC10 tankers was at Farnborough, I bet they hope to take on a little work in between VC10 and Voyager!

There's speculation on some other fora that they may leave service early purely based I think on the 3 ship formation, appears to be a bit early for a swansong.

Madam, the THREE SHIP FORMATION was the only chance to get ALL THREE VARIANTS in the air TOGETHER! ;)

I'm just glad I dropped what I was meant to be doing and went to see it.
I'm also glad I had a go with the Canon rather than my other camera, it may be shaky (no stabilisation) but I think the picture looks better, and no crack \:D/ although there is a black mark that isn't on my photos :-? ,

So what part of 3 ship formation - all three variants and together do you think I don't understand that you need shout?
