Well ole 'SYD been about everything in it's time

Perhaps unique as not many aircraft get lengthened....the odd prototype but how many had the bits taken out again. :think:

Thanks for the link, Garry. I could look at those pics all day.

On the third selection of the 73 to 84....did anyone spot A40-AB in her old Caledonian markings.....What a great site....Bookmarked....

There is a pic of her like that on A.net I think....she was delivered and tested like that. I think the painting came after the refit.

I'm surprised that there's still anyone out there who's not seen that shot Tony.. did you note the name of the photographer?? :think: Don't bother going to look.. it's Paul R (aka VC10 here on the forum) ;-)
