Look forward to another divert into EGCC then...!

That is certainly good news....

Who knows, even I might someday get the chance for a second flight in the VC10.....!

I wonder if it will end up like the Shakleton....just a few more years...then a few more.....then "Keep going for now, we'll let you know"......... :think:

Unfortunately it will cost ....and guess who's paying? :sad:

But it'll happen so might as well enjoy it :dance:

Perhaps RYANAIR or EUROPEAN AIRLINES will be interested in the Aircraft after the RAF have finished!

Might only be Rynair left by then

Looks like the old 10 will be around for a few more years yet... 2014/5 now, and who knows it may see 50 years in service yet!!!

I dread to think how much this delay is costing :roll:

Tonks :think:

2014/15! That's almost the the PVR point. I could get a couple of tours in by then!

I can hear it now..."I fly the VC10 Tanker......my Dad flew it.....my Grandad flew it....."

Hmm looks at the delays problems and cost overruns with that :huf:
