Tiger mate,

The Nimrod at Cosford went there on a truck. HQ 2 Gp would not countenance use of MOS to land a Nimrod (of either flavour) at Cosford - perfectly sensibly IMHO!

If it can be shown that the VC10 has the perfomance to safely land at Cosford then it may be flown there; if not, then it won't (I suspect). The runway at Cosford is very short (unless you are flying a Tutor)!

Regardless, I hope that the RAF Museum at Cosford gets a VC10 for display.
