Did some digging throught my kit stash, and came across my 1/72 Avro Vulcan, and thought why not get the rest of the British "V" bombers to round out the set. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/V_bomber Got a Vickers Valiant, and a Handley Page Victor on the way. Of course I have to research the snot out of these aircraft, and came across this...
Not exactly what most people normally consider the "last flight", but I believe it qualifies. I'm sure they were very glad they had an experienced Victor pilot at the controls. I have read that the "co-pilot" was not even close to being qualified, much less a pilot.
Pretty good video, and interview with the pilot. Enjoy!

Edit: Hey Gary - saw the pic you posted of a Victor during the big free trip! Nice!
