Lovely photos. I flew out to Singapore in XV105 back in '69 and its really nice to see she's still airborne. (No, I'm not a reggy 'spotter' - As a former "Ton-Five" Halton Brat I recall the number easily)
Of the twenty-odd aircraft that I've worked on in my career, the VC10 is my personal favourite. They have their quirks, as all aircraft do (the fuel quantity indicating system and the flap assymetry systems being the most troublesome bits during my time from '71 to '74) but the VC10 was the best engineered flying machine I've ever come across.
