Flew many times in VC10s from Lagos to London and back in the 1960s and '70s - BOAC and BCAL. Beautiful aeroplane, the product of a different time and a different style of travel. Ahhhhhhhh!!!! Great web site, BTW!

If you are a former 10 Squadron Crew Member and are in contact with any of your former colleagues then I would ask you to get into contact with them and urge them to join us. Thank you

I enjoyed a trip on a VC10 from Brisbane east over the Pacific one night in the early 1970's after often watching them at Brisbane airport. In those days if you asked nicely the captain would be pleased to entertain you on the flight deck. After dinner we were escorted to the flight deck and received warmly. That night I had an experience that I will never forget. The first thing observed and unexpected was the old fashioned navigation with the navigator, navigating with a sextant through the bubble in the roof. And then looking out through the windscreen the night was so dark outside that the nose cone of the aircraft was not even visible. It was just as if the crew had drawn a black blind down over the windscreen! That experience instilled within me a huge confidence in the skills of those men in command of that great flying machine.
