Does anyone know the intended fate of the Dominies after retirement?

It must have been a rehersal flight I saw last week ( Fri 14/01/10 ). I was working that day and had gone to a patient at Harworth (just south of Finningley), but had to go back to the Ambulance for the carry-chair.
Walking out the house turned out to be good fortune, tinged with a little sadness, as a familiar and almost forgotten jet noise made me look up to see a 3-ship Vic of Dominies that looked like they’d just made a flypast along the runway and over Bawtry:cool:.
I admit they looked stunning in the gloss black and white livery, but I prefered them in their 6FTS colours, but it still took me back to the days of Finningley’s airshows.
I did not see the official farewell flights, but at least I got to see them once more in familiar skies.
