Brings back many happy memories of my years at Weybridge. Worked on Valiant. Vanguard, Viscount, Bac1-11 and VC10's. Will look out my records/pictures and get in touch later to see if anything interests you. Regards
Long association with the VC10. Was living in Weybridge when first 10 took off from Brooklands. Flew in VC-10s of EAAC; BOAC and BUA: Was living in Addis Ababa when the EAAC ran off the runway. A tragic very sad day.
Was searching the internet for aviation info related to Soesterberg and found your article about The Vikings of Soesterberg. Interesting article never heard of it before. I worked as a K9 handler for the Air Force at Soesterberg Air Base.
What a fantastic site, can't beleive there are other Victor Charlies like me. I would like to contribute some memories of the beautiful aeroplane that will ever be made.
Have just found this site and it bings a lump to my throat. Flew on these in 70's and 80's. Definately 'Queen of the Skies'. When 747's introduced, tee shirt printed- 'pxxx off Fat Albert'. Still got it in 'BOAC' box.
