I enjoy reading about the VC10, all very interesting. But I keep thinking it would have been quicker on a ship to Australia!
You would think with 4 engines on a relatively small plane that the VC10 could have carried more fuel, so it wouldn't have to land so often.
My parents used to go on a BOAC VC10 to Cape Town. I think they refuelled in Nairobi, but where else would they have refuelled?
