Doing a flyby during the last operational flight of a RAF VC-10. Earlier it had carried out some tanking and then flew by various west coast locations that had dealing with the Tens over the years, 47 to be precise. Another one did the east coast. A friend of mine, Aviation Journalist, Richard Gardner is on board taking notes and photos for publishing in various journals.

Arrival at Brize after a training sortie.

Arriving at Heathrow's Terminal 2 after an overnight flight from Nairobi.

Three VC-10s sharing Heathrow's 'Hotel' stands, just days before East African Airways was dissolved. First flying in 2.70, 5H-MOG was the last one built and was latterly the RAF 101 Sqdn's K.3 ZA150, scrapped in 2013. Note 5th engine pod. Behind is the penultimate one built, 5X-UVJ, which became ZA149 and coincidentally made the penultimate flight of the type into Dunsfold for the Brooklands Museum on 24.9.13 (my photos also on AH)

Touch-down for the last time ever of the last VC-10 built, for preservation by the Brooklands Museum. Never would have dreamt I'd be taking this shot 36 years later when I took my photo of her as 5H-MOG in 1977!

Powering away for a go-around before making her last ever landing

This aircraft went on to become ZA150 of the Royal Air Force. It is seen at the BOAC maintenance area.
