Vickers VC numbers
Following the tail end of the periscope thread, as best as I can discover without more detailed research, this is the list of the Vickers VC series of aircraft. . .. .VC1 Viking. .. .VC2 Viscount. .. .VC3 Proposed civil development of Varsity. .. .VC4 A 3 engined airliner for the North Atlantic. This had one engine in each wing root and the third between the other two on the bottom centreline of the fuselage. It was realised that three engines were insufficient thus the design became four engined. . .. .VC5 A long range transport based on the Valiant for BOAC.. .. .VC6 Similar to the VC5 but short range for BEA.. .. .VC7 Also known as the V1000. This was a long range airliner based on the Valiant but with low set wings. Engines were placed in the wing roots as in the Valiant. VC7 was also applied to another design of which no details are to hand.. .. .VC8 A design concept of which no details are immediately available.. .. .VC9 Vanguard. .. .VC10 VC10. .. .VC11 A short range VC10. .. .VC12 1-11 ( Originally the Hunting type 107) . .. .Further to the above is the lineage that led to the VC10 to which VC designations were not applied.. .. .Jet Viscount. ( 2 Tays replacing 4 darts} . . |. .Jet Viscount with Vanguard wing + pylon engines.. . |. .Jet Viscount rear engined tri-jet.. . |. .Jet Viscount / Vanguard as Mk1 Vanjet.. . |. .Vanjet Mk2 thru 15 with both twin and trijet layouts, some designs with the Valiant wing.. . |. .Vanjet in two versions, Short to medium haul for BEA with RR Avons and long haul for BOAC with RR Conways. Both were trijets.. . |. .Fourth engine added for the BOAC version finalised as the Vanjet.. . |. .Final version of the VC10 also known as the V1100. . .. .Regards,. .R. . . . <small>[ 10 March 2002, 21:47: Message edited by: R for Robert ]</small>
