Airs and Graces
Royal Air Force No.216 Squadron Lockheed Tristar KC.1 ZD948 gracefully trundles out to depart on an Air-to-Air Refuelling task at RAF Brize Norton on 19th March 2014.
Later that day, sister ship ZD953 made her last flight to oblivion over at Bruntingthorpe where the remainder of the fleet are due by the end of March.
A sad end to such a lovely looking aeroplane.
With the demise of the VC-10's and now the Tristars, the skies will be the poorer for their loss.
