Hi I have the ground school and flight training manuals in loose leaf form from my course in 1978. I wondered if they would be wanted by your members. Best wishes Steve.

Hello

I collect aircraft photos (slides, negatives etc) mostly of Soviet origin, but some British too. So I have about dozen or two images of CIVIL VC.10 and can send it if you need.
Thank for a good work and hope you keep this site as long as possible.

I think your otherwise fine site missed two chapters: comparison with 707 (or DC-8) and Il-62 ;)

best wishes, Sergei

What an amazing website, keep up the good work! Always remember my first passenger jet flight as a kid in 1968, BUA VC10, Manchester Ringway to Toronto Pearson to visit relatives. Joined RAF the following year, fast forward to 1988, privileged enough to become a 10 Sqn VC10 Ground Eng and travelled the world for 4 years. Great memories, happy days! VC10=QOTS 🫡

Wonderful, the first aircraft I flew. I enjoyed wallowing in nostalgia!
It was the last airliner the UK made, a credit to its designers and a joy to fly.
