On March 29th 2011, the only remaining flying Vulcan, the last all-British designed and built military aircraft, flew out of RAF Lyneham for the last time.

The LXX daffodils on the noise abatement ridge were planted by LXX Squadron who were stationed at RAF Lyneham up until they disbanded September 2010, to soon be reformed at RAF Brize Norton with the new A400M transport aircarft.
Picture here was taken 29th March 2011 at RAF Lyneham, with thanks to Andy Humm.
