EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph depicts the Vickers VC10 C1 XR808 of the 10 Squadron Royal Air Force (RAF), as it gracefully touches down at Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong during the late 1960s. The VC10, a versatile and iconic British long-range transport aircraft, was a staple of the RAF's Transport Command. The image captures the essence of aviation history, as the VC10, with its distinctive wing design and powerful engines, makes its approach to the unique and challenging Kai Tak Airport. The airport, which operated from 1925 to 1998, was renowned for its narrow runway and dramatic approach over the densely populated urban landscape. The VC10, registered as XR808, was a key component of the RAF's transport fleet during the 1960s and 1970s. It was used for a variety of roles, including VIP transport, troop carrying, and even as a flying command post. The aircraft's versatility and reliability made it an invaluable asset to the RAF. This photograph offers a glimpse into the past, showcasing the VC10's impressive capabilities and the challenges of air travel during this era. It is a testament to the bravery and skill of the RAF pilots and crew who operated these magnificent machines, and the ingenuity of the engineers who designed and built them.
