Is it still holding true that VC10 Loadmasters are not allowed to put power on the Aircraft?
Is it true that they're no longer allowed to call 'stop' (or abort, or whatever phrase the VC10 uses)? Oh hang on, they never were, but I do believe it happened in the dim and distant....
If it wasn't for civilian pilots (ex-mil or not) you'd have no-one to provide charter for a huge proportion of pax AT!!!
