Surviving Bits & Pieces

As a sideline to the VC10's career it might be interesting to glance at the lives of some of its competitors, the other first and second generation four-engined airliners. To start off here is a page about the Soviet competition:

Ilyushin-62 - Soviet marvel or shameless copy? - written by Peter Skipp

Several VC10s have had a non-standard career which (in my view) warrants some special attention on this site. In time, if I find enough information I might end up with histories on all the VC10s, but for now I'll start with just a few.
