If I remember correctly, I think the VC-10
still holds the record for a commercial sub-
sonic Trans-Atlantic crossing -- but only in
one direction.

The Convair 990 (a real hot-rod among
airliners) holds the other way distinction......

How appropriate that our two countries share
the record!

Given the apparent 'pause' in the replacement tanker procurement, I suspect their time in the air may be beyond 2014...

I was told at CWJ's that that plan is on hold - contract not actually cancelled, but deferred...

That's not what the head of the company told me ;)


They're not coming in as quickly as first planned, but, they are still coming

First of the next batch of VC-10's arriving at Bruntingthorpe for parts recovery, late August.

Yours truly will be one of the guys cutting her up. They've asked if I'd like to volunteer, I jumped at the chance
