I've gone and changed the caption now, sorry about that
VC10s were flown back to Brooklands with some regularity during the years when they were built there, but by the time of A4O-AB's return, it hadn't been done for years. Also, the test pilots with that experience were not current on the type anymore. I've got another good story about one of those earlier return flights
here.
