Who mentioned the VC-10?

Google is wonderful. Just discovered that Boeing were evaluating VC-10 EHAs in 1970.

"Title: EVALUATION TESTS ON BOULTON-PAUL VC-10 AILERON INTEGRATED FLIGHT CONTROL ACTUATOR,
Corporate Author : BOEING CO RENTON WASH COMMERCIAL AIRPLANE DIV
Report Date : 10 MAR 1970
Abstract : The results are presented of tests conducted on a Boulton Paul Aircraft integrated electro-hydraulic actuator of the type used on the British Aircraft Corporation VC-10 commercial airplane flight control surfaces. The tests include frequency response with manual and autopilot inputs, response to step input, steady state operating temperatures, and a number of function tests."
