If there is plenty of engines and support from BAE available and a ton of cash for fuel it might be a goer for an ex military to fly but 4 engine jets of that era are "gas guzzlers " and to fly passengers in them would cost alot of money to get it certified and I can assure you there is no sentiment in aviation over old Airplanes of the era and you will be lucky to get your hands on a RAF VC10 as as they get to the end of their life its Away to Bruntingthorpe to be broken up for spares
The reason the Vanguard that I help to maintain at Brooklands was Grounded in 1996 was lack of spares and engines which neither BAC or Rolls Royce would support any longer so when the Cof A ran out on the 30th September 1996 It wasn't worth trying to renew it at least it didn't end up as Bake bean tins like the other Vanguards.
