Do you know if any disciplinary action was taken against the Captain?
In the current culture he'd probably lose his job, but I wondered if things were as bad in those days as now.

By the way if you want to hear and see that marvellous a/craft just get near Brize Norton. I was there about a month ago in a village close by and the sight and the sound of the VC10 made me wish I was up there poling the plane round the sky.
I wasn't poling it around the sky (just as well!) but here are a couple of pics from the third best seat in the house.
And a few from down the back.
