Beat me to it Chris. Quite a story. Let's hope it has a happier ending than the Nimrod project.

Re: VC-10 return?
I would be extremely happy to see a VC-10 back in the air. But seriously, one aircraft! What costs are involved? Crew training and spares inventory amongst a host of other considerations. It would probably be much cheaper to commission another A330 Voyager, which has crews that are current and a plentiful supply of spares.

There won't be any shortage of pilots' volunteering their services to fly the Queen of the Skies!
