Last one flying

Vulcan XH558 came back to its birthplace at Woodford in June 2015 for an emotional farewell as this was its last season in flight. Thousands turned out around the former airfield and factory to see this wonderful plane put in a couple of flypasts. Most people were very quiet as it headed off over Alderley Edge and a legend was gone.
