EX RAF VC10 XV109 skin section coffee table. Still in original Matt grey paint Bargain at £249
#VC10birthday Today is the anniversary of 5X-UVJ's first flight in 1969. The fourth airframe for EAA carried the Pope on the first visit to Africa. It became a K3 tanker for the RAF and was retired in 2013. Front fuselage now in Sharjah. vc10.net/Airframes/cn_8…
#VC10birthday Today is the anniversary of G-ARVE's first flight in 1963. This #VC10 was used to test the SVC10 engine nacelle configuration, flew for BOAC/BA until October 1974 and was scrapped at LHR after being used as part payment for 747s. vc10.net/Airframes/cn_8…
During its 47 year career, #VC10 C1(K) XR808 was named for F/O Kenneth Cambell VC. Although preserved at the @RAFMUSEUM Cosford, the scroll with the name has not been reapplied to the airframe as far as I know. vc10.net/Airframes/cn_8…

Random #VC10 logbook entry. On this day in 1975 (3rd April) G-ASGM operated BA560 and flew from Boston to London, captained by Tony Frish, co-pilot J.R. Downey. Duration 6.38h. vc10.net/Airframes/cn_8…
Right, this is not a joke: 50 years ago, on 1st April 1974, BOAC and BEA merged to become British Airways. On the same day #VC10 G-ARVI operated the first 'Golden Falcon' service to London for Gulf Air. vc10.net/Airframes/cn_8…
I wonder what today’s date is…
This article has a nice summary of the history of the #VC10 and the retirement from British Airways' service in 1981: airwaysmag.com/ba-retires-vic…
#VC10birthday Today is the anniversary of G-ARVK's first flight in 1964. This #VC10 flew for BOAC and BA for 11 years, was used by Gulf Air and would become a RAF K2 tanker. Early in its career it lost a door. Retired in 1998, it was scrapped in 2001. vc10.net/Airframes/cn_8…
#VC10birthday Today is also the anniversary of ZD240's first flight in 1994. This ex-BOAC Super VC10 became a K4 tanker and served in several conflict zones with 101 Squadron before its retirement in 2005. It was scrapped at RAF St. Athan. vc10.net/Airframes/cn_8… 2/2
#VC10birthday Today is the anniversary of ZA142's first flight in 1984. This ex-BOAC Standard VC10 delivered fuel as a K2 tanker for 17 years and would carry out the last ever flight of a BOAC Standard VC10 in 2001. vc10.net/Airframes/cn_8… 1/2
#VC10birthday Today is also the anniversary of ZA149's (second) first flight in 1985. This ex-EAA airframe would become one of 101 Sqn's 'supertankers' and spent another 28 years delivering fuel. The front fuselage is now at Sharjah. vc10.net/Airframes/cn_8… 2/2
#VC10birthday Today is the anniversary of XR807's first flight in 1966. The second RAF airframe was at the 1966 Farnborough show and was used for acceptance trials by the RAF. It flew for 42737 hours before its final landing at Bruntingthorpe in 2011. vc10.net/Airframes/cn_8… 1/2
#VC10birthday Today is the anniversary of G-ASGF's first flight in 1965. One of the Super VC10s to be marked 'BOAC-Cunard', it flew until 1981 and carried out the last scheduled service for BA. It was broken up for spare parts at RAF Brize Norton. vc10.net/Airframes/cn_8…
#VC10birthday Today is the anniversary of XV107's first flight in 1968. It took part in the Farnborough Air Show that same year and would be used to carry several VIPs during its career. It was retired in 2011 and was broken up at Bruntingthorpe. vc10.net/Airframes/cn_8…
#VC10birthday Today is the anniversary of 5Y-ADA's first flight in 1967. This third airframe for EAA suffered a four-engine flame out in 1967. It became a K3 tanker for the RAF and retired to Newquay in 2013. Sadly, it was broken up last year. vc10.net/Airframes/cn_8…
I feel I need to point out that a lot of images on my site have been Photoshopped. I have removed dust and blemishes that were present on the original slides and prints. I have never added or removed any #VC10s from photos. (Phew, I hope I dodged that bullet....) 😉
The elegant BOAC scheme on the third of seventeen Type 1151 Super VC10 aircraft built at Weybridge by Vickers. G-ASGC first flew on 1.1.1965. She can be seen @IWMDuxford What is your favourite airline scheme? #boac #britishairways #aviationhistory #airliners
