Then there was the VC10 that flew a simulated 2 eng approach at Brize and the crew forgot the gear....only a well observed call from ATC prvented a wheels up - GPWS wouldve stopped it. Not forgetting that ac was flown by Trg Flt staff.
I flew and loved the VC10 for 12 years, it provided endless adventures, but the 4 man flightdeck is safer argument is I'm afraid one from the dinosaurs.
Now back to my Airbus and it's faults!
