BEagle, you know I have VC10 history namely the tyre incident from George's VASS. At Leuchars I was the shift corporal that night, the ground eng. (a CT) was overruled by the MaEng (WO) and the aircraft departed with almost disastrous consequences I also was interviewed by the BOI under oath the capt ( a SQN iirc) lied to the BOI and me straight to my and the boards face. it was lucky for me that I documented everything that night, it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth all these years later. Incidentally as far as I am aware (please correct me) it was the CT THAT TOOK THE RAP, certainly was not me.
