That will have been us, on our way back from the vc10 open day and engine runs at dunsfold. I wasn't sure if you had seen us and our wave. Sometime I'd really like to pick your brains on adding a power steering rack, I'm ok with bolt on/off maintaince but don't have facilities to modify bits like a Subaru rack.

Amazing Aircraft, before the days of Voyager and when the Tri-star was broken, the VC10 tankers which were stripped out to carry passengers used to fly us out to the falklands, took it for granted back then, flying on this aircraft laugh

It was a good day, good chats with the volunteers that look after it, and I still think I can hear the whistle in my ears from the engine run. Just 2 run up and a bit smokey but you could feel the power.
