Hi – newbie here. I am one of the engineers who maintain 150 at Dunsfold.

The museum acquired Cn 885 because it was the last VC10 to be built & the last complete aircraft to be constructed & flown out of Brooklands on 16 February 1970. The intention is to maintain 150 in a taxiable condition for as long as possible. Every month or so we run the engines and operate all the systems. On the 19 August we taxied her for the first time for 3 lengths of Dunsfold’s runway without any defects being noted.

The intention was the carry out a high speed taxi at this years Wing & Wheels but unfortunately organisational issues beat us at the last minute. However all the right people witnessed the taxi and this is postive for next year’s event. She was opened up to the public at this year’s event and proved to be very popular.
