Fabulous aircraft. In 1984, I flew to Ascension Island via Gambia on one of these. Awesome power and the most gentle landing that I have ever experienced by any aircraft.

@akouzov Ilyushin 62 and the original Lockheed Jetstar are another couple of examples

Brilliant footage of a gorgeous aeroplane. I have always been in love with the VC10. The old BOAC slogan was 'Try a little Ten-derness'. The smell and the noise came through the screen: intoxicating! I understand that they will be withdrawn from RAF service in the next couple of years. I was fortunate enough to travel in an East African Airways Super VC10 and a Gulf Air Standard VC10. The memories will last a lifetime. The Queen of the skies and there are tears in my eyes.

The VC10 took me to several conflicts and one brought me home from Uruguay after being injured in the Falklands conflict. A very comforting aircraft to be in - just feels very dependable and reliable. That's probably why the RAF kept them in service for so long.

wasn't this a British government jet or something like that?

Great footage! However, if you can afford a decent camera maybe you should show your support by actually buying a ticket, not sitting outside the fence for free! -airshows aren't cheap to run!

@lightning1975 The footage was shot both outside and inside at Biggin; notice the tannoys, the RAF chap talking us through the display and - the big giveaway - the landing. Two different days, two different locations...
