May want to check that statement about the first passenger jet with the engines mounted at the rear as the Caravelle first flight was June 1955 and the VC 10 was 1962. The Convair 990 was 36 mph faster than the VC 10. British Airways 747-400, tail number G-CIVP, took off from John F Kennedy (JFK) airport in New York. It landed at London's Heathrow Airport (LHR) at 4:43am local time-a crossing time of just 4 hours and 56 minutes is the current subsonic speed holder. Also the first commercial airliner with auto landing function by only a few months was the Hawker Siddeley HS 121 Trident.

The VC-10 was uniquely cool. I was a wee lad in '68 when I flew on it from Manchester to Prestwick (fuel stop) and on to JFK. Again in '71 I flew on it from Manchester to JFK. Halfway across the Atlantic my cockpit visit request was fulfilled. The crew let me spend half an hour with them. That sealed my fate. BOAC gave Vickers a long list of requirements and Vickers met the challenge just in time for BOAC to change their minds. The crews and passengers loved the VC-10 even though the "Empire Routes" were waning and BOAC ordered 707s instead. Crews joked that BOAC meant "Boeing Only Air Carrier". The tail mounted engines protected themselves from debris on poor surfaces and left the wing unobstructed by pylons to feature nearly full-span slats and generous Fowler flaps. The VC-10 was the 1st to feature a tailfin fuel tank as well. Much like the L-1011, great engineering doesn't always mesh with economics. It's a beautiful jet. Most of today's are generic looking twins hard to distinguish one from the other.

As a child, I used to fly on a VC-10 six times a year (I was at boarding school in England). We unaccompanied minors were seated at the rear, which I loved. It meant that I could fully appreciate the gravelly roar of the engines on take off and during reverse thrust on landing. Heavenly music.

Flying was a different and more special experience before the wide-body era but I can still remember hating the inevitable stink of cigarette smoke throughout the cabin. It should have been banned decades earlier.

The Vickers VC10 is indeed known for its significant achievements, including some of the first implementations of automated landing technology. The Trident is often credited with pioneering this technology, but the VC10's contributions to aviation tech were also groundbreaking.

There were no hull losses apart from in the Jordanian desert but it must have been prone to super-stalling at the wrong attitude.
