So went the advertising slogan. I actually don't know if aircraft have slogans anymore? But the VC10 was a beautiful, very noisy, UK built icon of its age. I remember as a teenager, trying to get to sleep at home in Warlingham at 10:30pm when the BA VC-10 from Heathrow to Hong Kong flew over. You could still hear it half an hour later. The second photo shows me standing on the wing of the VC10 at Dunsfold. This aircraft has appeared in many TV shows and movies. I was also standing way too close to it and not wearing ear defenders when it did a full power taxi run on this day. That really hurt.
