VC10 at Gan, tail overhanging the end of the runway. Pilot applies full power with feet on the brakes. A blood-curdling moan from the engines as they bite the air when the brakes are released and the aircraft hurtles down the runway and takes off at an alarming angle of ascent. My ex-wife and my children still remember this amazing experience from 1972!! Did the same flight in 1975 but without the amazing display of power. A lovely aircraft, I was so sad to see it decommissioned.
