My weekly Dc-8 fix
My house is directly under one of the final leg turn points for Lyneham, so, up-to - several times a week, I get that lovely long body, long podded DC8 whistling over at 1,000 ft. So elegant- not a VC10 of course, but second best to, in my view. And all the locals think its an A340....
The wing with no slats - with just its simple rear flaps and those long pylons and pods looks great - a knife edge in the sky.
The KLM DC-8s were great- especially the ones to Africa.
Nostalgia.
