The current proceedings will of course change that situation significantly. The taxiable status of ZA150 and ZD241 made them special, but with both venues either sold or under threat I guess we've seen the end of that era. Still, keeping them going for the past seven years was a major undertaking and both the team at Dunsfold and at Bruntingthorpe should be commended for all the work they've put into preserving these airframes for us to enjoy.
Thanks Jelle. There have been challenges, but seeing the smiles as people get off the jet after a fast run has made it all worthwhile. Kids, enthusiasts, former child pax on both civvy and mil VC10s, and former VC10 crew.
