Timeline

On 28 August 2021, Sky News reported:

The last remaining UK troops have been flown out of Kabul airport, ending Britain's 20-year campaign in Afghanistan.

It comes as the last dedicated flight purely for the evacuation effort left the Afghan capital last night[2] - ahead of the 31 August deadline set by Joe Biden for American forces to withdraw.

Operation Pitting has now ended, with the UK evacuating 15,000 people from Kabul in a fortnight - including 5,000 British nationals and more than 8,000 Afghans who worked for the UK, and their families, as well as many highly vulnerable people.[3]
