VC10 Recoveries from Abingdon

Just a small note, there crew was not Warton based asthe two pilots were the chief pilot from pilot and his number two.

The aircraft were rebuilt at Abingdon with basic systems under the control of a Filton enginnering team.

On arrival at Filton the aircraft were put into the strip phase ready fro conversion.

I was very much involved in the conversion project as manpower planning manager but left before the first aircraft, ZD242, was delivered but did at least see the first two test flights.

Awesome aircraft and an incredible feat to recover them from Abingdon.
