VC10
Would love to have flown in one as a passenger and it would be great to see them still flying but I don't think the economics cut the mustard.
Still have a BOAC Junior Jet Club logbook which I was given whilst travelling as a boy on a BOAC Comet 4 (1964 and in First Class) in which there was a promotional leaflet on the upcoming introduction of the VC10.
Yes it would be great for people to experience what it was like to fly in those aircraft but getting parts etc. would be an economic nightmare.
Have to give it to the British aircraft industry credit for what they achieved in the 1950's and 1960's. One example being the introduction of Autoland capabilities in the Tridents.
I certainly dig log many miles as a passenger in the Viscounts as a boy.
Just feel grateful to have flown in Tridents, BAC1-11, Sunderland/Sandringham flying boats,BAE146 and Concorde.
Also the Caravelle10R although manufactured in France had a Dehavilland Comet cockpit.
Must admit that I miss the sound of those aircraft when they took off.
