EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the iconic Vickers VC10 C.1 aircraft, specifically registration number XV106 (msn 836), which served in the Royal Air Force (RAF) during the late 1990s and early 2000s. The VC10, a British long-range transport and tanker aircraft, was designed and manufactured by Vickers-Armstrongs, with the first flight taking place in 1962. XV106, adorned in the RAF's distinctive roundel and serial numbers, is depicted here on the tarmac, likely preparing for a mission. The VC10 was a versatile aircraft, capable of various roles, including transporting troops, cargo, and even refueling other aircraft in mid-air. Its advanced design, featuring four Rolls-Royce Conway engines and a high-mounted wing, made it a formidable presence in the skies. The VC10 served the RAF faithfully for over four decades, with XV106 being one of the last remaining examples in service during the early 21st century. This photograph captures a moment in time, highlighting the VC10's enduring legacy and the importance of its contributions to the RAF's aviation history.
