Hercules farewell flypast over Swindon

Once such a familiar sight and sound in the skies above Swindon and about to be retired... Three RAF Hercules performed a flypast. They were once based at the nearby RAF Lyneham and were the essential transport plane, used in many conflicts and relief operations.
