THE last evacuation flights for Brits fleeing war-torn Sudan took off as battles erupted yesterday.
The extra rescue missions left Port Sudan after UK citizens faced a noon deadline to complete a dangerous 500-mile drive from Khartoum.
It came as the MoD released dramatic pictures of the last evacuation flight from Wadi Seidna airbase on Saturday.
As of 5.30pm yesterday, dozens more UK nationals were evacuated from Port Sudan, with more expected last night.
The Foreign Office said 2,197 Brits had been rescued from the civil war. So far, two RAF flights from Port Sudan were due to land in Larnaca, Cyprus, yesterday evening.
