As far as I can tell it was delivered to 4FTS on 5.6.64 & painted yellow straight away with no code. At the end of the season it went to 5MU on 1.10.64, the following year it emerged in scarlet, w/o 16.12.69

I seem to remember the ex BA VC-10’s being ferried from Abingdon to I think Filton for the Tanker conversions. Gear & Flaps down one off transit I think & they appeared to be in a fairly shabby external condition, was it new engines installed etc. for the transit? Wellsbourne to Bruntingthorpe 25mins? As pointed out 30yrs outside for the Vulcan would merit a strip down of all airworthiness related components, anybody out there elaborate on the work carried out on the VC-10’s?

My First Post on this Forum. E-mail sent to FAAM regarding this ludicrous situation and this is from a retired ‘Crab! A sensible solution would be – we’re invoicing you for £50,000 and by the way it’s waived! Hope a sensible solution at zero cost is found. Best of luck to the Bluebird Project.

Took this photo 6 Aug 13, no interior shots though. This is in the same building as the Halifax at the National Air Force Museum of Canada, CFB Trenton, Ontario which is a 2hr drive from Toronto. Regards Hywel Evans. You can easily google them.

This was the man reason for visiting – she really is a beauty.
