I know nothing about CAC's testes (not a sentence I thought I'd ever one day be writing, 30 years ago as an AC) so I can't comment on the meat of this. But as an LAC I recall looking at the previously long stored VC10s flown into Abingdon by some French contractors (?) on a wing, a prayer.. and an outrageous insurance premium?
Edit. Far longer runway, I know.
