The CAA removed the VC10 from my licence because they said that it was no longer in 'commercial' service. One of our (BOAC) VC10s suffered a double failure at RTOW on departure from Calcutta in 1970.
I think that the VC10 is one of the few large four-engine aircraft that could survive a double failure (as well as Concorde????). Certainly the 747-400 wouldn't stand a chance at anywhere near RTOW.
