I too love the VC10. I flew on them a lot as an Air Cadet based at Bampton/Brize Norton, sometimes three times a week in the summer holidays.... sad but true
Yes, it was XR809. Often saw it flying fairly low around the South Leicestershire countryside. Guess it was going to/off Bitteswell at that time?
You guys next to the stations were always the lucky ones. We just had one 15 min stint in a Chippy from Newton per year. Not that I am ungrateful but no comparison to your experiences.
