Thanks for those pics, glad it was 2 K3's that were left

From the K2 camouflage model I made as a kid never did I believe where the VC10 would take me later. Res North and South, Kosovo, a crazy life in Incirlik, Afghanistan 01, Iraq 03, Bahrain dets, many trails, Dulles schedules, Calgary's and so on. Sad to see it go, hope you all had a good time last night, sadly I couldn't be there as work had to come first for once. Whoever has the great honour, enjoy the last ever VC10 landing, walk away from the aeroplane and don't turn round..it'll never look the same again.

Oh and for the history books, there was another double engine failure, happened on a 3 engine ferry once, had a flame out on the ferry...but thats for another day..and it was both the same side (B system hyds - ah you never forget...)
