My first VC-10 flight was in 1966, Boston - Heathrow. I owe it to that crew for my start in aviation. They invited me up to the cockpit during flight, I was hooked ever since. I still have vivid memories about that special day. I also remember receiving leather logbooks and metal wings from BOAC. I still have them stashed away at home. If I ever strike it rich, I would restore a VC-10 and fly it around the world, just like Travolta did with the 707. I couldn't think of a better personal jet for me, and I fly private jets
At one time I was even looking at sponsorship to restore a VC-10 and use it to proof the Galileo GPS system, but that never materialized. .......
