with me by listing this site as a source of information! |

Project Canceled - The disaster of Britain's
abandoned aircraft projects Derek Wood (1986), Jane's Publishing,

unbuilt Super-Super VC10. |

Mackrick, is Rick Lee's mostly Apple Mac dedicated site
which also sports a VC10 category as Rick works on these aircraft himself.
