So for clarity, the VC10s at Bruntingthorpe are not owned by DWalton or have ever been part of the Cold War Jets collection, they are owned by a commercial company who had the contract to scrap the RAF tanker fleet on site at Bruntingthorpe,the fact that they have lasted this long is more to do with the goodwill of the land owner than anything else.
D Walton has done more to save and encourage jet preservation for private aircraft owners and teams than probably anyone with storage,maintaining and running facilities available largely at his own financial and commercial cost.
Yes things have changed, but we’ve all had a pretty good run over the years and with the current massive investment to secure a future home for the remaining Cold War Jet Collection things look very positive.
