EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Vickers VC10 C.1K XV104 / U (msn 834) of the Royal Air Force's No.10 Squadron, circa 1980. The Vickers VC10 was a versatile and iconic four-engine turboprop transport aircraft, primarily used by the RAF for military purposes, including VIP and cargo transport. The aircraft in this image, XV104, bears the distinctive markings of No.10 Squadron, which was formed in 1915 and has a rich history in the RAF. The VC10 served the squadron from 1971 until its retirement in 2003. The VC10 was a mode of transportation that revolutionized air travel, offering impressive capabilities for its time. It could carry up to 120 passengers over long distances, and its advanced design enabled it to operate from shorter runways than other aircraft of its size. This photograph captures the VC10 in its element, with the aircraft's powerful engines and sleek lines on full display. The image also offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the aeronautical engineering and design that defined the aviation industry in the late 20th century. The Vickers VC10 C.1K XV104 / U (msn 834) is a testament to the ingenuity and innovation of the Royal Air Force and Vickers Aircraft Limited. This photograph is a valuable addition to any aviation or military history collection, and a reminder of the important role that aircraft like the VC10 played in shaping the world of transportation and aviation.
