In case it is of interest, I was going through my deceased Father's documents (which seem never ending) and came across a historical BAC/RAND Corp doc relating to the VC 10 project.
Am presuming it is not confidential anymore as it was 1967 and there are no more VC10 flying around.
If anyone is interested in the whole doc then happy to share (just PM me)

I retired off the 10 fleet in 2010 just as these numbers became available. One of the Air Eng's bought VC10ALM and then tried to sell it to the LM's at a profit. No one to my knowledge took him up on the offer. I wonder if he still has it in the loft!!!!
Now I think this is a funny story, told to me by one of the protagonists.
Years ago, a Bucc nav went on exchange to Aus on F-111s.
Later, a Bucc pilot did too (not at the same time). Both went to the Tornado on return to UK.
Years later, the plate F111BUC came onto the market.
Unbeknown to each other at that stage, both bidded in an auction, and the price went up...and up!!
One bought it - you might see it on a flash car around East Anglia.

C 130 NAV was parked next to E 3 DTD in a car park at Waddington a few years ago. The latter number plate probably cost more than the old Peugeot that it was attached to.
