Speak to any VC10 FE and they'll tell you they fly the aircraft mate. The pilots are only there to make up the numbers :lol:

Cheers Nigel... But it's not my birthday, but the VC10s :Dance:

Have a look here for Damien's other photos showing XV104's arrival at Bruntingthorpe: http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set= ... 385&type=1

Sad but inevitable. Two other C1Ks will be retired in September and the rest of the fleet in March 2013.

Sorry about that guys. I don't blame you for not having an account at that place, I only have a page for my site, nothing personal as I don't like the internet-wide aggregation of information that they get that way. I'll see if Damien will let me use those photos on my site, that way I can show them to the non-Facebook world as well.
