As a kid and son of a soldier, I regularly used to fly in the RAF troop transport versions of the old VC-10. Fond memories of a beautiful aircraft.

I love these videos, they remind me of Saturday morning pictures at my local cinema, wonderful days.

Great film of a time when Britain was a proud industrial country and not the sorry excuse it is now .

The VC10 was quite a hot-rod, as airliners went...

I forget why the VC10 wasn't a big commercial success and I think most of them ended up in RAF Service.

Built for BOAC/Goverment who were thinking of the Commonwealth, hot and short runways.

They were built to a specific BOAC spec. And then BOAC changed their minds and went with the Boeing 707. Shame as the VC-10 was a beautiful aircraft to fly in as a passenger; certainly the RAF ones were. The 707 was not! I once spent 22 hours in a 707 and couldn’t walk properly for three days afterwards!

One hundred and four and a half miles an hour. I doubt those goggles and leather helmet would give much protection in an accident. Back in the days when men were men.
