Actually this one (XV109) was never in BA service, it was built as a CMk.1 for the RAF. Only two ex-BA VC10s are still flying, ZD241 and ZD242, both K4 versions.
Lovely photos!
just to say archer my evening is now sorted look through your fantastic VC10 website!!

Good stuff and whilst the RAF may not be an airline, it’s VC-10’s are indeed former British Airways planes and you did in fact snap it at a commercial airfield. 😀
