The VC-10's last mission with the RAF

On the 20th of September the RAF flew its last VC-10 mission and the venerable aircraft has now been retired from service.

On board there was a video crew to record the occasion.




Undoubtedly one of the most magnificent aircraft to have graced the skies for half a century the VC-10 holds a spot in the hearts of many aviation enthusiasts and the crackling roar of those engines will be missed by many.
