Re: VC10 ZA148 engines fitted
Great to hear. She'll look excellent now she is "complete".
Great support again from GJD, continuing their excellent work supporting our aviation heritage.

Re: VC10 Bruntingthorpe - First Flight 50th Anniversary Even
:up: just checked and its my weekend off Excellent Minnie; have you booked tickets yet? This is the first independent event we've run solely amongst our volunteer team. In the past we've mainly collaborated with the other Bruntingthorpe teams and others such as Timeline. This will be the first even...

Re: Updated 20/12 - VC10 Jump Seat Competition
It *really, really* is. Just delete it once you win (or not) No, it *really, really* isn't. Just my opinion, but I object to competitions restricting entry to "soshal meejja" platforms. As for winning, I've had 8 real flights on the Vickers Funbus, and to be honest, the best part of the V...

Re: Updated 20/12 - VC10 Jump Seat Competition
Signing up for one (Twitter being far easier) or the other is a very small price to pay for the prize on offer. No it isn't. That is a matter of opinion. Considering another thread very close to this one is arguing about giving money to an organisation in return for apparently very little, using an...

Re: VC10 engine run opportunity
we use well over 10t of fuel per annum That's quite a carbon footprint for a retired jet. It could be far more. A full run, such as those seen at the Cold War Jets events uses a little over a ton. It's a small price to pay to keep such an important British engineering legacy alive. It's something t...

Updated 20/12/17 Hi all, As we posted last week, the team that look after ZD241, the VC10 at Bruntingthorpe, are running a competition this Christmas. The final prize is the chance to take the jump seat, or navigator's seat, for a full power fast taxi run at either a Cold War Jets Open Day or at on...

Re: APRES
The ‘our work’ tab has a VC10 pictured on it. Are they involved in it? I'm not sure how they were involved in the RAF Museum and GJD's project to move the VC10. Seeing as the VC10 groups have approached Cosford to offer help, and it's been gratefully declined, I'd say they're being some dishonest o...

VC10 Haynes Manual
Evening all, A shameless plug, but later this week/next week the new Haynes manual of the VC10 is released. Keith Wilson has written the book and had a lot of assistance from our volunteer team at Bruntingthorpe, basing a fair amount of the material on ZD241, her sister ZA147 and the famous XR808 (B...

Re: Bruntingthorpe Open Day - 28th August
I hope everyone had an enjoyable day at Bruntingthorpe; we certainly did with the VC10! We were lucky enough to run first today which allowed us to open up the jet for a little longer once it'd been towed to its stand. I hope all who queued to get on to the jet enjoyed their visit - I hope this made...
