In the mid-70s I used to live near the approach path of a large airport and the VC-10 was a daily visitor. After it passed and was receding in the distance, it produced a very characteristic and lovely whine which unmistakenly identified it as a VC-10. No other airplane sounded like that, and even in my mid-teens I could immediately recognize the VC-10 by sound alone (let alone its sheer beauty), that was an easy one. This as, IMO, one of the two most beautiful airplanes in any category ever produced. The other one is of course Concorde.

This particular VC10 (ZA147 "F") I have seen 3 times, once in the formation with 3 VC10's at Leuchars, once in Lanzarote and now at the Airshow

Oh wow! Stunning capture! Sad to see her leave in the near future, remember hearing her go into EDI about one or twice a week.

Yeah, it's hard to believe the VC10's will no longer be flying. It was one of the first aircraft I remember seeing at the airport as a youngster. Seeing (and hearing) it take off was really what got me interested in aviation, it's a really beautiful plane.

I have to agree, we will lose a big part of the backbone of British Aviation, one of our greatest ever builds. :(

Nice video, maybe one of the last videos of her before she gets retired :(
