VICKERS VC10 

 
The Vickers VC10 was a four-engined long-range transport
designed to the specific requirements of the national airline
BOAC, which included operations from certain African "hot
and high" airfields. This made the aircraft more expensive to
operate and made it less attractive to other operators.

The aircraft first flew in 1962 but it took government inter-
vention in the form of a military order to keep the program 
going. Eventually 54 examples were built, 40 for airlines and
14 directly to the RAF.

The aircraft proved expensive to operate and was also quite
noisy so commercial airline service was comparatively short 
-lived, the last examples being retired in 1981. Some civil 
examples were bought by the RAF who have continued to 
operate a small fleet in the aerial refuelling and transport  
roles.   

This CD contains four different flight manuals for the civil  
and military variants of the Vickers VC10, plus an additional
interesting booklet. The CD has been scanned from the 
original flight manuals and retains any colour pages.
