EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the Vickers VC10 K.4 ZD230/K (msn 851) of the Royal Air Force's No.101 Squadron, circa 2000. The Vickers VC10, a versatile and iconic aircraft, was a mainstay of the RAF's transport fleet for several decades. This particular aircraft, registered ZD230, was one of the K.4 variants, which featured an extended range and improved avionics. The image captures the VC10 in its distinctive livery, adorned with the insignia of No.101 Squadron. The squadron, which was formed in 1916, has a rich history in the RAF, with a focus on transport and support roles. The VC10 served as a vital asset in the squadron's fleet, enabling the rapid deployment of personnel and cargo to various locations around the world. The VC10's distinctive wing design, with its high-mounted wings and four Rolls-Royce Conway engines, is a testament to the advanced engineering and design of the time. The aircraft's versatility allowed it to be used for a range of missions, including refueling, air-to-air refueling, and even as a flying command post. As the sun sets in the background, the VC10 sits on the tarmac, ready for its next mission. The image evokes a sense of history and nostalgia, as the VC10 was eventually retired from RAF service in 2013. This photograph is a reminder of the important role the Vickers VC10 played in the Royal Air Force's transport fleet and the enduring legacy of aviation technology.
