Jackonicko,

Your maths is off: 13+5+4+5=27 (not 26)

IIRC from my time on the VC10, the RAF had operated a total of 28 VC10s (if you include the RR testbed), which was exactly half the total number of VC10 fuselages built by Vickers (53 flying aircraft + 3 fuselage sections for testing).


Kitbag,

"57 Sqn disbanded in '92 and 55 Sqn the following year ..." Not correct, I'm sure - I flew the Victor K2 on 55 Sqn from 1990 until the fleet folded in Oct/Nov 1993 - 57 Sqn had been disbanded before I even got to RAF Marham!
