VC10 Memories

The VC10 has been around for a long time and it still inspires those who fly and maintain them for the RAF, but memories are the only thing left from the airliner days of the VC10. I think it is important that memories - stories that tell much more than mere facts can do - should be treasured. For this purpose I would like to collect VC10 memories on this site. Any stories, recollections, reminisces or ramblings, experiences - humorous or otherwise - and also photos, as long as they somehow feature a VC10 please mail them to me if you would like to see them included in this site (please state if you want your E-mail address published with the story or not). The rest of my site mainly collects the facts of the VC10's career, I would like to collect the personal experiences here.

This section has been subdivided into two pages to keep the loading times reasonable, with longer items having their own seperate page:
