FEATURING:

VICKERS-ARMSTRONG AND THE BRITISH

AIRCRAFT CORPORATION

Why Vickers joined BAC and how that a ected

the VC10.

ORIGINS OF THE VC10

The development of the Vickers V1000/VC7

and its tragic cancellation. BOAC’s specifi c

requirement for a jet airliner with superb

performance that became the VC10.

BRITISH UNITED - THE VC10’S

CHAMPION

When the VC10 most needed it, Freddie

Laker spoke out in support of its virtues.

With Freddie at the helm the VC10s took

over former BOAC routes and made them

profi table.

SELLING THE VC10

Damaged by BOAC’s negative publicity the

bright hopes of sales were soon dimmed.

THE VC10 AND THE FALKLANDS ISLAND

1982-2013

The initial support given by the VC10 to

the Falklands as a transport and its later

role stationed on the islands to contain the

Argentine threat.

THE LAST YEARS OF THE VC10

As the VC10s were withdrawn and their

numbers were reduced it continued to serve

the RAF, wowing the crowds until its last

touchdown.

AND MUCH MORE!
