I remember VC10s so well from the first half of the 1970s, when they were operating transAtlantic flights through Manchester. I think those aircraft were all Supers, but I also got to see all the standard aircraft through visits to Heathrow.

Photos of some surviving VC10s:

Personally, I prefer propliners, but I can see that the VC10 was a supremely elegant airliner. Never flew on one, but I believe they were very comfortable.
