VC-10 air to air photos - late 1990s
Following on from my C130 thread, here are a few more of the 1000s I've taken over the years... I'll add more if anyone wants. Any requests?

Bet you didn't realise that a VC-10 is actually smaller than a Tonka?







806 before the defuelling "incident"...





















Customer service...



Many more to come if you'd like... always a pleasure to show off what we do best!

Some really excellent shots there I imagine these (and your Herc ones) would be welcomed on the Nostalgic Photos sub forum on the Fighter Control forum.

Here's an odd one from a VC10 which I had to hand...



The delightful all-black 588 on her very last flight en-route to Coningsby, before being dismantled and taken to Hendon. Ahh, Typhoons, those were the days... eek!

43 sqn Typhoon!
Any body know why that typhoon had the 43 sqn fighting cock painted on it, or was it an almighty zap?? Always wondered.

........ taken from a smelly Hercules - urghhhhhhhhhhhh!






SilsoeSid,

What you have there is a VC10 K being followed by a C1K. Not sure whether the lead is a K3 or K4, but it certainly is a 'Super' VC10 with a longer fuselage than the C1K. Some Brize bod will be along to tell you exactly which airframes they are .....
