The Royal Air Force Hercules aircraft is set to fly past Buckinghamshire today for the last time ever.

Eagle-eyed residents could spot the Hercules on the skies today as it flies across the UK.

The flypast is a goodbye to the tactical transport aircraft Hercules C-130J that has been in service since 1966 before its retirement.

The Herculean flypast visits all four nations of the UK in just seven hours today Wednesday June 14, including RAF Brize Norton and RAF High Wycombe.
