Good video yes

There are many brilliant VC10 videos on YouTube, it is (was frown ) a fine aircraft and I have fond memories of flying on them to Iran in the 70’s. Even today it just looks right and you know what they say.... “if it looks right it often is right” wink

If I remember correctly it still holds the record for the fastest sub-sonic crossing across the Atlantic.

I remember someone posting on here years ago, a BOAC VC-10 Captain on a flight to New York announcing to his passengers something like, "... and if you look below and to the right, you'll see the TWA Boeing 707 that took off 15 minutes before us."
