Last UK flight for civilians leaves as Kabul airlift winds down
Al Jazeera, 29 Aug 2021
The last British military flight has left Kabul, taking the United Kingdom's remaining diplomats and troops out of Afghanistan.
It marks the end of nearly 20 years of a British military presence.
The final flight carrying Afghan civilians left earlier on Saturday.
But hundreds of people entitled to resettlement in the UK have been left behind.
