Besides Roz Hanby there was also the gorgeous Hilary Smith, another Miss Speedbird IIRC. She would turn up for her PPL lessons at Booker wearing tiny denim shorts . . . (sigh) . . .
Photos?

Was motoring along the Grand Union near Bruntingthorpe last Monday. Was privileged to watch the last VC10 fly several circuits before landing
That was probably the last VC10K3 - an ex-EAAC Super VC10.

Sadly, VC10K4 ZD241, the last ever ex-BOAC Super VC10, was also retired last week. It seems no-one bothered to tell the press....

101 Sqn now has only 4 VC10s; 3 x VC10K3 and XR808 'Bob', the last remaining VC10C1K.
