FEBA
Don't know if this counts as a VC10 "dit", but your mention of Dawson's Field struck a chord.
I was on my first tour in the Gulf (Persian Gulf we were still allowed to call it) at the time. Among my souvenirs is a letter from the PMC, saying that my Mess Bill cheque was amongst mail that had been destroyed when the VC10 at Dawson's Field was blown up, could I please write another one!
Unfortunately can't recall if I did or not ........
