no, not a vc10 as the wings definitely had 2 engines in each wing root. i would recognise a vc10 as i flew back from ascension islands in one after spending 11 1/2 hrs in a hercules flying falklands to ascension.
Beagle,
As I said in my post:
"None of them are sand coloured any more ....."
bolmas,
Sounds very much like a Nimrod. Definitely not a Victor, none airworthy anymore. I operated the Victor K2 up until its retirement in late 93.
