These photos show the last operational Vulcan Bomber taking to the skies over Barnet for the last time.

Hundreds of people gathered at the RAF Museum, in Hendon, and surrounding areas to watch the display.

The aircraft, which is the last of its kind able to fly, also flew over Finchley, East Barnet and Enfield before making its way to Druxford in its final ever flight.

Vulcans were an icon of the Cold War and formed the backbone of Nato’s nuclear deterrent between 1957 and 1969.

The aircraft ended active service in 1986 and was kept on as a display aircraft - but this year it will be grounded forever.
