The VC10, together with the Lockheed TriStar, was replaced in RAF service by the Airbus Voyager KC2/KC3 under the Future Strategic Tanker Aircraft Project. The VC10 was withdrawn from service by the end of March 2013, making this visit to Leuchars Airshow the last ever opportunity to see the "grand old lady" of the RAF in public in Scotland.
