"I believe that the Air Movements VC10 trainer at Brize is made of the remains of this aircraft.

Known locally as the "VC5", as the centre section is missing, with the front and rear fuselages (where the holds are) stuck together".



The loady's "VC5" is the ex Ghana Airways and RAe machine, G-ATDJ/XX914/8777M. It still has the XX914 serial on the engine pod.

There are some cockpit fittings (throttle pedestal and flight engineers station) from XR809/G-AXLR used as a cockpit mockup at BN for procedures training.
