gdiphil,
In my job [ATCA] I was fortunate to partake in an Air to Air Refuelling sortie, with another VC10 in [[B]very[B]]close formation in "Transit",
Both "Tank" and "Recieve" from 2nd VC10, then have 4 Mighty Fins take fuel as well...then it was several circuits and "touch and goes" before [sadly] doing a "Full Stop" landing
Oh yeah, I was in the "jump seat" for a lot of the trip
