In the event of a QRA scramble we could be airborne in less than 10 mins , probably a tad faster than any converted airliner could react.
The Queen of the skies has matched that a few times. Usually depended on the location of the crew- from the swimming pool we used to allow an extra 10min so the Flt Eng could blow dry his hair.
