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.
Rough schedule for the next retirements...

Hi David,
At least one will be saved, 808 at Cosford I believe, and prob one at Bruntie... Other than that I don't know. My wife won't let me have one sadly LOL
