Export VC-10?
Does anyone have any info regarding this?
The picture was posted from a third/fourth hand source who was requesting an ID. Not photoshopped is it?

The aircraft was briefly used as a movie prop on an opportunity basis in the early 1990s in Germany.
I seem to recall that a donation to charity was made by the movie company.

There is a photo of that in one of the current aviation mags that has a big article on the VC10s 50th anniversary, although the pic and the brief explanation are in an article about Gatow as mentioned above... I will hunt out the article tomorrow.

Ecce Homo! Loquitur...
Brief mention here by "Lord Flasheart"
The Miniatures Page:
.....We often get pinged to be extras as its quicker to get us upto speed than some real extras. I've been SAS for Granada TV, A armed guard for a Computer Security film, a WW1 RFC groundcrew and a WW2 German Soldier. Most bizarre of the lot was at RAF Gatow, Berlin as a USAF honour guard Sgt for a Gene Hackman film that used a RAF VC10 with USAF markings on the side and us as the USAF wanted far too much money us we got 150 quid each for 2 days and i got to chat to a great actor for about 20 mins......
