When George Edwards drew the VC-10 he hung the four Rolls-Royce Conways at the back, probably the only aircraft that has ever managed to make jet pods look sleekly part of the overall design. In its BOAC livery it looked outstandingly elegant with its clean, uncluttered wings. Although it was quiet for passengers, all of whom sat ahead of the engines, the VC-10 would not qualify to operate out of today’s major airports what with the dam noise restrictions!!! The video looks like Manchester I would say? Think the RAF has about 3 years left on the type?
