Apologies if some posted this before, seems to be from 2013, but quite an impressive line up:

I'm guessing not all three of those VC10s survive today though

Actually, they do. XR808 is in the middle and the forward 93 ft of her were delivered to RAF Cosford today:

The other two are ZD241 and ZA147 (147 on the left and 241 on the right, the engines were swapped between the two a few weeks later). ZD241 is kept as a live runner at Bruntingthorpe and ZD147 is also owned by GJD Services and is used as a spares source for now. It is likely that ZA147 will not survive forever but for now the airframe is still intact.

Remember those pics, quite amazing. Shame if 147 doesn't survive - it was the last one to fly.
