I agree it will be a sad day when the last of these graceful ladies lands for the last time but hey, thanks for memories
I was fortunate enough to travel on a VC-10 in April 1977 which routed MAN-PIK-YMX-YYZ and return. I remember very little about it, apart from the sight of an AC 747 at a snowy Mirabel, and throwing up on the way home to MAN.
