Long term she will likely have a place on the museum site, but no short or medium term plans.

In a way it is bad news that the last VC10 ever built - and arguably the last true intercontinental British aircraft ever built, Concorde notwithstanding - will be deconstructed and moved to...

A VC10 is already at Bruntingthorpe for fast taxi display, I believe starting next year. I cannot see where Brooklands can put another one on the museum site and as for the cost...mmitch.

Thamesweb, ZA150 is an Ex EAA frame. I believe that moving a VC10, if done properly, should not involve irreversable damage. there are production joins at the wings and tail. an RAF VC10 had its tail...

The significance of ZA150 is she was the last full aircraft built at Weybridge , similar to G-BOAF being the last aircraft built at Filton. If the whole thing comes off, Brooklands could tell the full...

Thanks for that. So it is an ex-EAA aircraft so must be a 'Super' fuselage. My son and I saw the two land at Brize on Friday after their tour of the UK which was nice.

Could it be painted in RAF colours on one side and EAA colours on the other?

Hm, I hadn't realised the length of a Super VC10 Fusalage. Had assumed it could be moved to Brooklands without being cut. Now it seems it is about 50m long. Next question - could it be dismantled at...

Good to be at Dunsfold to see the VC10 arrive at her new home, but the event was very poorly handled I am afraid. No attempt at letting the crowd, several hundred, know what was happening and when, no...
