VC-10 Landing Bruntingthorpe

As a matter of interest, the VC-10 was planned to land prior to the Open Day - in fact it flew 3 approaches on Friday, but could not see the runway at minimum BOA so it eventually diverted back to BZN for another try the following Tuesday when you saw it.

A remote VC10 photo

A very remote village, no road no electricity no mains water. On a very remote Greek island. A very chaotic study but - look what is on the wall top left



I am in the office at the moment I will check which one it is when I get back home.

Control Colum Centre Boss Badges

Beagle,
Yes the badges were very nice, so much so that for the last few years of servicing at St Athan as soon as the aircraft landed the badges were removed and locked safely in someones desk!
We also had issues with part of the toilet flush mechanism which contained a squash ball made by a well know tyre manufacturer, they tended to be under lock and key as well!
