I've only found this in the Leicestershire Mercury:

It has photos and video, but has anyone found more stuff in the news? Surely the retirement of this Queen of the skies has not gone unnoticed by the press?

This quote from the Times of Malta says it all:

The first royal flight by an RAF VC10 was the journey to Australia and back by the Prince of Wales, Harold Wilson and Ted Heath in 1967 for the memorial service for the Australian premier Harold Holt, who drowned while swimming.
The flight from London to Melbourne took 21 hours, 46 minutes including two stops at Muharraq in Bahrain and Gan in the Indian Ocean. Civil aircraft took 36 hours at that time to complete the journey.
