Comparison has been made on this thread between the 727 and VC10. One thing that has always struck me, as SLF, is that the VC10 doesn't really flare on landing - it seems to point the nose at the threshold and level up just before touchdown This video shows what I mean
I presume that they don't do this just because the passenger seats in RAF VC10s face backwards. Is it in fact quite different from a 727? Apologies for thread drift
