VC10 at Cairo, March 2002
Hi all,
Hoping somebody can confirm that I'm not completely barking...
I flew in as pax to Cairo two years ago (early March 2002) on an Olympic flight, arriving late at night. I was in the habit then of making notes on trips abroad and doing write-ups on my return, and I have a note in the book from that trip saying, as we taxied in, "VC10 on pan".
Now granted it was late night, but the pan was floodlit, and I'm as sure as I possibly can be that it was a VC10, but I've been reliably informed that the last civil VC10's were withdrawn in 1987, and I'm not sure it would have been an RAF one.
So, can any of you chaps who frequent Cairo airport possibly confirm or rubbish my claim to have seen one there at that time? I think the date I flew in was 7th March 2002.
Thanks in advance.
