I don't know it from a pilot's point of view, but as a passenger the VC10 was a great plane in which to fly. I was lucky, way back in 1968, to fly from London to Sydney in one. BOAC, of course then. The route was via New York, San Francisco, Honolulu and Nadi.
Very quiet to fly in, but as the BOAC ad ran in those days "That's BOAC hush-power for you!"
