I saw a photo the other day with the old BOAC colours but without the logo on it. What a mess. It was the worst thing BA ever did to the VC10 was to remove the gold BOAC and speedbird logo and replacing it with a blue 'British Airways' sticker. It spoilt the whole effect of the aircraft.
I only worked on it for a short time but I remember those days of sitting on bar boxes in the back galley listening to those Conways. In those days one of the flights it operated was the daylight Monarch from JFK - LHR. IMO it was the worst flight to operate because arriving back at night. Sometimes if the Capt was nice he would delay chocks by 5 mins so we could have an extra night!! A practice that still goes on today to enable premium payments.
