Wouldn't be a VC 10 without that racket.

And you try stopping them so you could inspect them on a check..
I last Worked on them in 89 on leaving the RAF, indeed I did a ground run on my last day.. Last I saw fly was also the last to have air under its wheels as it landed at Brunty.... However, that might not be the last time they fly.
