ANOTHER RAF flypast is set to take place on Wednesday to mark the retirement of an iconic military plane. 

Although the planes are not expected to fly over Worcester, you will be able to catch a glimpse of them in neighbouring cities and towns.

Three aircrafts will be flying over RAF Cosford near Wolverhampton at 10.34am as part of the flypast.

Cosford is just over an hour's drive away from Worcester City centre depending on traffic and totals just over 50 miles.

A journey by train can vary between one hour and 40 minutes and two hours and 20 minutes.

The flypast is set to mark the forthcoming retirement of the Hercules from RAF services and the planes will be flying all across the UK.

On Wednesday, the flypast will depart from RAF Brize Norton at 10am, which is a one hour and 22-minute drive from Worcester depending on traffic.

Then it will make its way to National Memorial Arboretum, Alrewas which is about a one hour and 20-minute drive away from Worcester.

The plane will arrive at Cosford at 10.34 before heading toward RAF Valley in Holyhead.

The first Hercules arrived at Marshall's of Cambridge in the 1960s and since entering RAF service, it has operated across the globe and supports the UK in military and humanitarian relief operations. 

Described by the RAF as the "backbone of UK operational tactical mobility tasks", Hercules's defensive system makes it ideal for operating in regions where there is a threat to aircraft. 

However, Hercules is officially set to retire on June 30.
