Yes, I have to agree:

The Vickers VC 10

I sat in the right hand seat of an EAA (East Africa Airlines) one when it was taxied under it’s own power for a few hundred yards in the 1960’s.

Even in that drab military garb it looks great.

Years ago United landed a 707 . 🙂

The flight school has plenty of large pictures of the pilot error hanging on its walls.

Hey WD:

Was that a UAL 707 – I thought they used to only have DC8’s ?

I may be wrong.

G-AOXL on the poles outside. Restoration project to begin soon on this aircraft.

Bruce: Not sure of the timing for Shell’s ownership of UO but you might find the following interesting.

(Hmmmm, I seem to remember posting this once before……..)

For G-AOXL read G-ANUO. For many years based at Leicester East (EGBG) this Aircraft was operated by British Nuclear Power Corp and flew a daily service to Anglesey (RAF Valley?) and other BNC facilities throughout the U.K. Often Captained by Alan Firmin – I managed to beg a few flights on it in the 70’s. It was equipped with a Decca Navigator – a forerunner to today’s GPS systems but surprisingly accurate for it’s day. Uniform Oscar replaced G-AS(?)UU, another Heron, that operated thoughout the 60’s on the same run. Note: One of the 2 was reputed to be ex Queen’s Flight. I last spotted UO in a very dilapidated state at Biggin Hill in the 80’s and thought that it was to be scrapped. Apparently it has been partially restored and transformed into XRray Lima to represent the last flight out of Croydon.

Wow! Excellent shots, thanks.

What is that tri-tail monster with the tandem seats? Is that a turbine engine?
