Like about 100 others, I saw the final flypast and landing at about 1400 today.
The 2 VC10's were ZA147 and ZA150.
I also saw the following;
B767 EI-FCV Blue Panorama 1245
C130K XV303 about 1300
L1011 (reg not seen) landed about 1600.
Did you know that registration to Civilian Aviation is completely free and brings you lots of added features? Find out more....

Yes, a sad day for two of East African Airways finest ever acquisitions - these were registered 5H-MMT & 5H-MOG and sold to the RAF in 1977.
Probably the best-looking jet airliner ever made, all good thing must come to an end I suppose.

ZE 705 was your Tristar, mate.
883 & 888 were the afternoon Hercs, if you saw them
and to make my post a civilian aviation post, G-BNRG PA 28 was seen today.

Wanna buy a secondhand airfield?

Many thanks Spyderleader.
I saw XV303, but not sure about the others.
I will check again.

I did see a C130J depart at 1351, but did not get a reg.
I also saw a Chinook, (code ?m) over Carterton at about 1625.
Still the VC10's were the highlight of the day.
