And just to add to the confusion:. .While the 'Vickers Commercial' numbers applied to a specific aircraft type, each type would also have several specific type numbers from Vickers to distinguish between subtypes. The BOAC Standard VC10 was type 1101, the BUA ones were type 1103, the RAF C Mk 1 type 1106, etcetera. The Super VC10 type numbers were 1151 for the BOAC model and 1154 for the EAA version. This might explain the 'VC15' ICAO designator for the Super.. .. .So now we have a Vickers VC10 type 1151 with ICAO designator VC15. Anyone still following all of this?. .. .<a href="http://Fly.to/VC10" target="_blank">http://Fly.to/VC10</a>. . . . <small>[ 28 March 2002, 21:49: Message edited by: VC10 ]</small>
