The site in the link is  dedicated to the VC10 and some of the people on the forum have been very helpful www.vc10.net

Very good view drawings at http://www.elodieroux.com/EditionsElodieRouxBonus_Drawings.html which can be purchased in eps format

These pictures I took of the VC10 at RAF Leuchars Sept 2010

Retirement

All the VC10’s have now been retired and a couple have been purchased one by the Classic Air Force  and the other  by http://www.bruntingthorpeaviation.com/

The Classic Air Force no longer exists ZA-148 is now part of the Cornwall Aviation Heritage Centre

ZA-148 at NewQuay has had her engines removed as you can see from the pictures.  The engines cost £12,000 each and the museum couldn’t afford them, the cost of ZA148 was £40,000.

Check this video out on YouTube – VC10’s and a Vulcan it doesn’t get much better than that.  Sadly all these great planes are now museum pieces although a VC-10 can be seen at Bruntingthorpe on fast taxi runs
