One hell of a machine. Built for speed plus hot and high operation. Only one commercial airliner has ever crossed the Atlantic faster - no prizes for guessing which.
Masses of power and a slippy shape means epic performance, not to mention the sound of those Conways. Love the old VC10.

Apparently it's XV104 into Bruntingthorpe for scrapping.

More VC-10 wow!
I understand it was a flypast to mark the end of RAF air transport ops on the type - just tanking from til the final retirement date, end of March next year.
WOW doesn't even begin to describe it. What a fantastic sightI understand it was a flypast to mark the end of RAF air transport ops on the type - just tanking from til the final retirement date, end of March next year.
As the man said
Shame it will come to an end shortly
