A walk through bright, beautiful and sunny Pitville Park at 13.00 hrs today was made even more enjoyable by the sight and sound of a VC10 passing slowly from East to West at what seemed to me to be only around 2,000'.
My thanks to those responsible for this delight!

VC-10 at 2000 feet, remove the word "silent" from your post title!!:ok:

It's all relative. In the 60s. compared to the competition - it was quiet.
These days - bejesus!

All those adverts concerned "silent" on the inside - not the outside.

Possibly on route to st-athan, as I saw one land there as I drove my train right past the end of the runway :eek:
I rare and beautiful sight...:)
