Back in the early seventies, I can remember 2 occasions when I was at Brisbane Airport, and a VC10 was firing up on the other side of the apron, presumably bringing all the pressures up. My brother and I both had our hands over our ears, and he yelled at me, "That's BOAC Hushpower for you!"
Such a classic British airliner; so sad that the RAF are now retiring them. How nice it would be for one to be preserved or kept flying. Little chance I guess due to the current economic climate!
C1K - Passenger/Freight and 2 Point refuelling by Wing Pods - Not used in the passenger configuration anymore unless necessary due to safety grounds. 8 left.
K3 - 3 point refuelling aircraft - Same pods as the C1K but with a centre refuelling point called a HDU for larger aircraft. Has 5 fuel tanks inside instead of seats for added fuel capacity.4 left.
K4 - 3 point refuelling aircraft - no inside tanks.1 left.
@fieldsofgold07 Very sad that numbers are dwindling, it was a shame to see XV109 Arthur Scarf go to Bruntingthorpe as she was the first VC10 I flew in back in 86. Thanks for the info, are you likely to be working on the new Voyagers in the future?
I watched touch and goes at Brize Norten one evening in summer of 70 or 71. Not that noisy as I recall but Concord was being flight tested from Fairford and that was loud. I was visiting from Ramstein (F102 and F4 at the time) where it was always noisy.
VC10 was also used for the Royal Flight in those times. The birds have held up better than Prince Philip.
Saw one land at St John's (YYT) five or so years ago. He had the left refueling hose out and there was a bit of smoke when it impacted. They escort RAF fighters to and from Canada quite a bit. I think we see them more now that the RAF closed out their training at Goose Bay.
When I lived in Calgary 5 years ago (possibly still are) these RAF's it was wonderful hearing these things take off, thundering every week or two. I'm guessing they were bringing in soldiers for training at the British Army training camp which is about 140 miles east of Calgary near Medicine Hat
nothing beats the sound of a turbojet engine, i used to love watching md-80's take off when i worked at the airport and the whole ground would vibrate but this aircraft is somethiing else. long live turbojet engines :)
Great vid, thanks for posting. Were these aircraft ever used as general passenger airliners? I remember bulding an airfix model as a kid which had the distinctive 4 engines at the tail, but I'm pretty sure that was a passenger jet....either that, or I painted it totally with the wrong colours!!
@k3llyUK There are BOAC liveried examples in various museums in the UK. Quite a few of the RAF VC10s were picked up from around the world on the cheap when they retired from airline service - in some cases it was a case of clearing out the vegetation, checking nothing was nesting in the engines and a lot of danger money for the pilots bringing them back over to Marshalls for refurbishment. Probably one of the best investments made, they have served the RAF well!
I wonder what it's like living a mile or less from Heathrow or Manchester Airport and that VC-10 flies directly overhead during its takeoff roll.
Not even the Concorde could match the extreme noise that VC10s generate during takeoff. The only other aircraft that can match the sheer noise of the VC-10 is the BAC 1-11, I think. The extremely deafening noise from a VC-10 or a BAC 1-11 could wake up the dead for miles around, if you know what I mean.
I thought they were used for refueling? Heyho, what do I know! All I know is that I LURVE VC10s! Awesome birds! Look at the lift! I used to travel Middle East to London in them back in the day, and all of us loved their power; they way they vibrated with it...we felt safe. The curtains between the sections used to fall back at a 45 deg angle at take off! Thank you so much for posting such a great vid, Jett203 :D
There are 3 different types in service with the RAF. 1 is freight and troops 1 is Air to air refueling and troops but not alot! and 1 is refueling between 60 and 80 tons worth. When on ops they can consolidate the fuel to one aircraft so that the others can go back to base and do what is required
@Jett203 Bravo!!!! Beautifully done. You secured the sound of ATC, along with those thunderous Rolls-Royce Conway turbofans. Exceptional resolution! This goes into my "favorites" module.
@strontiumdog19 Couldn't agree more. There is no more striving to be the best.. no more ground-breaking achievements. Imagine if we could rebuild the concord, with modern technology, with modern design, with modern engines. Imagine what we could achieve now, if things like concord, the VC10 and the Vulcan are almost half a century old.
To DiAct, the back wing is an all moving tailplane (a British invention) and attached to the rear edge of this are the elevators. On the main wings, the flaps are attached along the trailing edge and slats are on the leading edge, both of which increase lift. I agree with you that it is an awesome plane, probably one of the best looking ever made. Just a shame that the engines kick out so much smoke. Best sounding engines ever on the ground though.
@WingNuts2010 Yes, with the engines at the back the wing was totally for flying, with no engine pylons interrupting the aerodynamics. I love the Küchemann carrots.
whowww never knew these flaps on the back wing could flip aswell. does the normal wings on this plane dont have flaps? stunning! Yeah awesome plane, and the sound outstanding :D
What a shame when they get retired - they spent longer in the RAF than I did ! always seemed to get XV102 and XV109 on my many trips to Bahrain and Ascension Island 1970s and 80s. Was quite a sight watching the "Moonrocket" take off from Manama in a cloud of sand, and the BOAC 10s as well - used to shake the whole camp for about 5 minutes as they climbed away- Ah memories ! And flying backwards !
@jonb0002 Always got either XR808 or XR810. Always knew when i saw 808 i was heading home.
I gather there is talk about keeping the youngest in flying condition though. Would be nice to see - a fitting retirement for such a good and loyal servant.
Going to be a sad day when the last of these are finally retired after a very long and excellent service career. Over 40 years service with the RAF and not a mark placed upon any military or civilian passenger lucky enough to be on board one.
truly, it's like will never been seen again. VC10 Forever!!
@Jett203 They carry troops, general freight and also have air to air refuelling capability - with cargo doors and multi role capability. Some are out and out refuelling aircraft with a long tank lining the cabin.
They are I believe mainly used for air to air refueling. The Lockeed Tristar does most of the carrying of the troops. But on this occasion the VC10 must be carrying them. Great footage by the way; and a lovely take off only half way down the runway. The VC10 was designed for that in the early 60s, but everyone built huge long runways, and so the aircraft was a commercial flop. A commercial failure that became the RAF's gain !
@roddy76to86 Largely a result of trade union behaviors in the UK in the 60's. Brits could not guarantee delivery and Boeing could. Result: thousands of 707's and only about 110 VC10's built.
@AyDavey21 thought they were tankers. I flew commercially on the VC10 - twice to Khartoum (via Cairo). By that time - 1978? - the interiors were all well worn, but taking off at Khartoum was a real thrill. The pilot held the VC10 on the brakes before we set off, so we rocketed down the runway.Them was the days!
Beautiful aircraft; I was lucky enough to fly in her sister ship VC10 XV105 in 2008. The VC10 is such an elegant aircraft; great video; please post more.
I was THERE right next to the guys who shot this video. Waited 2 and a half hours in the rain and wind and was absolutely soaked but it was well worth it. Awesome video guys.
Brilliant, well captured, not too much camera shake and excellent quality as ever from you. I think you have some excellent videos out there! If you are interested in becoming a pilot for a Virtual Airline called Northern which is based at Manchester, contact me!

crikey what a great video - the ending was the icing on the cake when he asked the FlyBE if he could hear him ha ha brilliant.
if was lucky to fly in a BA SVC-10 back in 1980/81 G-ASGG when I worked for BA, what a superb aircraft and thanks for the video footage.

@Jetstarboy LOL they're not the quietest. I've heard them around Brize, and the sound is awe inspiring :-)
