The Story Of The Vickers VC10

The British-built VC10 Story  was a long-range quadjet introduced in 1964. Only 54 were built, and they served with BOAC and the UK RAF, and several African and Middle Eastern airlines. It was a popular and long-lasting aircraft, staying in military service until 2013, and forms an important part of British aviation history.
