I seem to recall a VC10 at Thurleigh that had 2 Conways on one side and a fanjet on the other. Is that to which you refer - or did I imagine it? Wasn't there was also a Vulcan with an underslung Olympus?

Fortunately our captain came from DC3s and doesn't foresee any problem with proceeding for departure.

The experimental Segway landing gear worked flawlessly. Until the battery went flat.

Chronically overdue for maintenance, XR806 soon learned to sit up and beg.

Yes, it was a test bed for the Olympus pre going into Concorde.

Yep, test bed for the RB211.

Not an entry… The VC10 could carry a spare under the port wing route, it had mounting points to sling a Conway.

Thunderbird 1 looks for a different flight profile.mm well Thunder would describe the noise it makes.

When departing from Woodford the instructions were to clear the footballers houses asap.

[Kiltrash]

Normally the receiving aircraft must keep level flight behind the tanker ...except when a comic situation occurs

[Kiltrash]

Later it was discovered the piano key concrete had not set like it was planned for.

The Bowling club decided to expel the team captain for stowing his overweight balls in the rear cargo hold.
