EDITORS COMMENTS
"This photograph showcases the iconic Vickers VC10 C.1K XR810 aircraft of the Royal Air Force (RAF), as it gracefully takes to the skies. The image, taken circa 2000, features msn 830, which was assigned to No.101 Squadron. The VC10, a versatile and advanced transport aircraft, was a mainstay of the RAF's fleet for several decades. The VC10 was a British-designed and manufactured long-range transport aircraft, which entered service with the RAF in the late 1960s. The C.1K variant, specifically designed for the RAF's strategic transport role, was equipped with the powerful Rolls-Royce Conway turbofan engines, enabling it to carry large payloads over long distances. In this photograph, we see the XR810 taking off, with the distinctive V-tail and wing design prominently displayed. The aircraft's powerful engines can be seen at full throttle, as the VC10 begins its ascent into the sky. The image captures the raw power and grace of this remarkable aircraft, which served the RAF with distinction for many years. The VC10 was a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of British aeronautical engineering. Its advanced design and capabilities made it a valuable asset to the RAF's transport fleet, and it continues to be fondly remembered by aviation enthusiasts and military personnel alike. This photograph is a fitting tribute to the Vickers VC10 C.1K XR810 and the important role it played in the history of the Royal Air Force."
