Really glad to have come across this site, as it has great meaning for me. My Dad, Alan Burfield, did his apprenticeship with Vickers at Weybridge and moved to Wisley in the early 60s. The account of the VC10 trials are very interesting as he was on the first tropical trial to Jo'burg (and met my mother there!). I'm surprosed, and a little diappointed, that he's not in any of the pictures. As far as I remember he was ground crew/inspector. Sadly he died in 1985 age 50. If anyone remembers him please feel free to get in touch.

G-ARVJ/ZD493 Qatar 1970's

While working at Doha Airport I watched in amazement as the Qatar Police Motorcycle Display Team rode their bikes up the passenger steps on this aircraft and into the passenger cabin, a day later I watched again as they rode their bikes off the aircraft. To surprised to count, but there must have been at least fifteen bikes on board.

Just looking for info on my uncle, Roy Mole, who sadly died on 1st June. I knew he was involved with the early Brittania's, VC10's and Comets and fortunately found his photo with Brian Trubshaw on your site. Thanks for the memory.

Hello, Jelle,

I happened to bump into your site.
In order to explain how this came about it would be better to use a standard e-mail, but "Send E-mail" does not seem
to work for me. So if you could make
a connection via the above address we could discuss a specific aspect of your
favorite airliner.

Regards,

Koert Moulijn, formerly Hogeschool Haarlem, Luchtvaarttechnologie.

I am very pleased to find a dedicated site to this magnificent piece of British engineering. Never got to fly one, and have missed it so many times on the day of Trooping The Colour, the Vickers VC10, Lockheed L-1011 TriStar and the McDonnell Douglas MD-11 are my 3 favourite classic aircraft. I am forever going on about this wonderful aircraft and I do mean this truthfully - I don't care if the Boeing 747 has this nickname, but to me, the Queen Of The Skies is the Vickers VC10 and always will be. So thank you for creating this site and we shall always praise the VC10!
