Swift, silent and serene in Cheltenham
A walk through bright, beautiful and sunny Pitville Park at 13.00 hrs today was made even more enjoyable by the sight and sound of a VC10 passing slowly from East to West at what seemed to me to be only around 2,000'.

My thanks to those responsible for this delight!

VC-10 at 2000 feet, remove the word "silent" from your post title!!

It's all relative. In the 60s. compared to the competition - it was quiet.

These days - bejesus!

All those adverts concerned "silent" on the inside - not the outside.

I rare and beautiful sight...
