Yes we did, F E D. But because we hadn't quite got round to painting 'Royal Air Force Transport Command' in white over the doors of our Whirlwinds when they came back from FEAF, a la Wessex, we didn't have to repaint them.
AFAIK, we never quite got round to painting on the new command title either. Just the odd tiger or three.
Back to the thread, like many I will always think of the VC-10 as the Vickers FunBus. But 'VC-10' stuck at all levels, especially with passengers. When Aden was declared an operational area and the GOC addressed his troops he brightly said that, because of the conflict's new status, "you can now all win the VC!" A gloomy voice from the back of the ranks was heard to say: "The only VC that I want is a VC-10".
