Rough schedule for the next retirements...

Post by Jelle Hieminga »

A recent post on the Keypublishing forums mentions a rough timeframe for the remaining VC10 retirements (see here: http://forum.keypublishing.co.uk/showth ... 326&page=8 and scroll down to post #224).

If true then XV104 is due at Bruntingthorpe soon and 2 other airframes will head that way in September. This is as of today still unconfirmed though, so things might turn out different.

What will happen to the simulators? Hopefully one could go to Brooklands!
