RAF Lyneham - Final Fly-by

The last C130 Hercules' flying out of RAF Lyneham perform a final flyby over the north Wiltshire coutryside.

They have flown the skies over my home town all my life and the area will never be the same again. I've had a soft spot for them since flying in one as a child over the Bristol channel with the tail gate down and have very happy memories of cycling out to Lyneham in summer holidays to sit at the end of the runway and watch the Hercs taking off. A sad farewell.
