My worst and best flights were on a VC10 - both within a week. On the first it was a tanker variant with no insulation down the back and (not knowing) I hadn’t brought a sleeping bag - I’ve rarely been so cold.
On the way back there were 7 of us on a passenger variant - luxury!
The VC-10. The fastest passenger jet after Concord.
It was so fast that it was able to get the troops to where they needed to be, 3 days ago, on time…………..
@FascBear@eigenrobot I can say that RAFC Cranwell’s librarians are very good and when I asked them about my great-uncle’s service they gave me so much detail that I spent a long time trying to politely extricate myself from the conversation.
A great day at the Royal International Air Tattoo. As well as some great displays from military pilots I thought these two aircraft were fascinating; electric and clean hydrogen power. #riat23
