It was a nostalgic moment as three Hercules transport aircraft did a flypast of RAF College Cranwell and RAF Waddington on Wednesday afternoon as part of a tour of the country to mark its upcoming retirement after over 50 years of service with the Royal Air Force.
Dozens of enthusiasts gathered around Cranwell airfield and outside College Hall gates to catch a glimpse, take photos or video of the mighty trio.
