Great stuff. It'll be sadly missed - to see, hear and feel such a huge 'tin triangle' flit about the sky like a fighter is something else !

Same here, so glad I have seen it a couple of times in the last few years before it's grounded

Might be worthwhile finding out where, and when, the very last display is, Red Two - might be a good one to go to ?
I'll check their web-site.

And some more, taken at Little Gransden last year, when we thought "Is he going to roll it?!!"
Even at that distance, the roar could be heard, and the ground shook !!

Nicely captured Dogsbody !

I liked Cosford with April when it first appeared rather sedately and she wasn't impressed much, then it came back with a bit more vim and vigour, she turned to me and said "that was impressive"

Great video! She is certainly going to be sorely missed, hopefully something is worked out.
