Blimey November4,
The days when a VC10 replaced an Albert on a trooping run. In my experience there was usually a Q crew at Lyneham, and plenty of spare frames. How unlucky the 10 was to have the tyre blow out and subsequent probs. I still say, if I still had a passport, I would rather go on holiday on a 10 than anything else flying at the moment.
