All of the RAF Tristar guys who flew the KC10 on exchange agree that it is a far more capable and reliable aircraft.
You might understand why when it is realised that those maintaining those KC10's no doubt actually knew how, whereas....those 'maintaining' (using the term in its loosest possible sense) the RAF aircraft simply do not know how.
Several airlines operated their TriStars in excess of 15 hours per day, with few if any cancellations.
The question then becomes...why cannot the RAF?
Perhaps our resident TriStar critic has the answer...'!!!!forbrainz'.
