The Vickers VC10 Collection
The Vickers VC10 first flew out of Brooklands on 29 June 1962, piloted by Vickers chief test pilot G. R. 'Jock' Bryce. Development of the aircraft was slow, with many setbacks, but it was dearly loved by both crew and passengers, and arguably, were it not for politics and problems in the aviation industry, would have been a huge success. Brooklands Museum has the ex-Sultan of Oman's aircraft on display, after it flew in to Brooklands in 1987, along with two fuselage sections. The Sultan's aircraft is quite unique, fitted out as a flying VIP apartment, and is used by Father Christmas once a year.
The last Brooklands-built VC10, ZA150, went out of service in September 2013 when it flew into Dunsfold, where, as you will see in this playlist, it still does taxiing demonstrations, although as I write this it may be flying back into service.
