We report on preliminary results of VLT/FLAMES observations of the old open clusters NGC 2506, Mel 66 and Cr 261, obtained as part of our Guaranteed Time on this instrument. We focus in particular on the very old cluster Cr 261, one of the oldest open clusters in the Galaxy. We compare the derived Li abundances with those of other old clusters, and we discuss briefly Li depletion on the main-sequence from the age of the Hyades to ∼8 Gyr. © 2006 Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg.
