  • @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...

  • 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

  • interesting engine configuration. nevert seen quad rear on a subsonic plane before.

  • (random fact that green hangar that can be seen from 5:57 to 6:02 houses Bernie Eccleston's car collection and the BAe 146 at the end is his private plane)

  • I'm going on dragons den with a kerosene air-freshener (3:09)

  • 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 I understand that they will be withdrawn from RAF service in the next couple of years.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.

  • wonderful one

  • That was absolutely awesome,that is one aeroplane i would have loved to travel on,the nearest i got to it was a Boeing 707 436,also powered by those famous Rolls Royce Conways,that was way back in 1977 Brilliant thanks..........John

  • 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?
