I am pretty sure there should be one last flight around the end of the month.
Just how many last flights does it take to finally keep a Vulcan grounded?? JIM
Hopefully another 1,000 JIM
The Vulcan’s final flight is expected to be in mid to late October, before it is grounded forever because of its age.

That's what they announced on BBC Look North at tea time Mike.
Tony.
ps. They also stated that XH558 is only licensed to fly till the end of October.
What? At three in the afternoon? That's tea time, if it was late afternoon/evening, then that would be dinner time old chap....
You're far too posh for me mate.
Tony.

No problem. On BBC2 at 9pm tonight - Britain's Ultimate Pilots, 1st episode The Red Arrows.Great shots, thanks
Cool, thanks
Never said it was the last flight, but it may be the last time you see a Zed with a Vulcan flying in the background!
Love the second shot - Its so difficult to get the underside lit.Vulcan and Zed photo call at Newark, XH558's final point of its tour before heading back to Doncaster.

I heard it fly over (Bruntingthorpe is only 10 miles away) but couldn't see it due to cloud cover. I saw it there a few weeks ago though.
Great photos Eddie, thanks
Seems we have some professional grade photographers amongst us! Thanks for sharing!! JIM
You've not see the other two hundred I took in less than two minutes
Great shots @Redline. Unfortunately i arrived just as it was starting its first pass, grabbed the camera, took a few shots and then the batteries died. Then realised that the camera was on the portrait mode, doh!
That happens to us all. I was taught to set your camera to known and familiar settings before you put it away. You know then what your starting with when you pick it up. A spare battery to three helps too. I have been taking pictures seriously for a while though.
Yep, I learnt that the hard way while doing ship loading inspection reports for our oil & gas equipment. Got a major rollicking.
