My first experience of the majestic Vickers VC10 was on Posting to Akrotiri in 1973. A superb flight and, for a farm lad, something of wonder. I had many more experiences of the "funbus" but my last was being casevaced from the Gulf, in 1991. The crews, the aircraft and everything about every trip I ever had was superb. I was lead to believe that the VC10 was second only in speed to Concorde. With Concorde having retired, is the "10" now the fastest again ?
