Wonderful pictures Ian, certainly gives an atmoshere with those VC10s'
Talking about circuits and bumps when at Scampton some Vulcans were dispersed at RAE Bedford on exercise and I had to go down with spares for one of the Vulcans, if I remeber correctly, was that not used for BOAC training as I watched a VC10 doing circuits and bumps followed by a Trident.
The Vulcan crews, to kill time, were just down from the threshold with a big board and marking up scores for the approach and landings that the pilots made!!
I used to be an optimist but with age I am now a grumpy old pessimist.
