Three RAF Hercules C130 aircraft have conducted a tour of the UK as a farewell tour ahead of their withdrawal from service at the end of June. The trio departed RAF Brize Norton at 10am, performing a set of flypasts across all four countries in the UK before returning to Brize Norton in the early evening. The first Hercules arrived at Marshalls of Cambridge in December 1966 Hercules.
