"a remarkable chapter in British aviation history, closed when XH558 touched down for the last time on Wednesday. It was a tense morning as rain lashed the hangar with the agreed take-off time fast approaching, but thanks to the flexibility of the airport, a later slot was provided and the final flight of one of the world’s most magnificent aircraft was given the green light.

After a morning waiting patiently, press and Trust Volunteers gathered in the drizzle as her engines started, waiting for the sun to burst through the clouds. Just before 3:00, the throttles were opened, the stick pulled back and she climbed into the air for the last time. Ten minutes later she was back on the runway, chute deployed, her flying career over"
