VC-10,

I remember a story of a VC-10 of BOAC/BA doing a roll while crew training when the Dutch Roll demonstration went wrong.

In the early days of the B707-436 BOAC had one get away from them while training and it recovered very close to the ocean with a few panels missing. The Mach meter went a lot higher than airliners are supposed to!! Whether that was a roll or a bunt I am not sure?
