Agree with everything you say. The VC10 was a magnificent aircraft and I wasn't lucky enough to fly on one, I wish I had though.
I was cross when BOAC having told Vickers what specs they required, such as being able to take off with a full load in a hot and high airport, then decided they would rather have 707s. No wonder we didn't sell many VC10s when our nationalised airline didn't want them.
