Not just VC10s. Concorde could and did (Exeter, 6,800 feet, 2000m) land on that length of DRY runaway. Vref 160 k, no spoilers but wonderful carbon brakes !

Interesting point on the VC10 /Tristar. I was loaned from BA. to GulfAir when they were changing to the 1011.A dispatcher showed me a VC10 and Tristar fuel plans, almost identical. VC10, 130 ish pax, TriStar 300 plus !
