Took a trip to RAF Duxford this weekend. Stupidly forgetting my camera so all these photos are taken using my S9+
This is a Hawker Siddeley Trident
REG: G-AVFB
First flown in 1968 with BEA and ended its service with British Airways in 1982
Here is my favourite from the static display the Vickers Super VC10
REG: G-ASGC
This aircraft holds the record for the fastest ever subsonic Atlantic crossing. In 1979 it departed JFK and crossed Prestwick in 5 hours 1 min. Only Concorde has done it faster.
Cockpit and cabin of the VC10
It was powered by 4 rear mounted Rolls-Royce Conway Mk 550 engines.
Here’s a photo from under the massive " Whale Tail"
One last one the BAC One Eleven
REG : G-AVMU
This one entered service in 1969 with BEA and ended its service in 1993 with British Airways after the merger with BOAC in 1972. I remember watching these take off from Heathrow from my bedroom window as a kid.
