Classic Wings – Vickers VC10 is now re-released, after being upgraded to wide screen high definition, using the latest A.I. software.

Classic Wings – Vickers VC10 uses some amazing fully restored archive cine film from BAE Systems to present the story of the VC10.  

It’s all here; construction, pre-delivery flight testing, displays at Paris and Farnborough. BOAC’s first Standard VC10 service to Lagos, and BOAC Cunard’s inaugural Super VC10 to New York. BUA and British Caledonian at Gatwick. The Commonwealth customers; Ghana, East African and Nigeria Airways, plus MEA and Gulf Air.

The civil use of the VC10 ends with the Sultan of Oman’s executive model, flying back to Brooklands.

From the hand-over of the first aircraft to 10 Squadron, we follow the RAF’s use of this versatile machine. Both as an airliner and later as an air to air refueller. Stunning shots of Tornadoes and Jaguars ‘at the pumps’.  Plus, an amazing sequence refuelling a prototype AEW Nimrod, are complemented by video of VC10s in action at Brize Norton.

In full colour throughout, together with superb digital stereo sound,  Classic Wings – Vickers VC10 is a unique video that’s an absolute ‘must’ for all VC10 fans.

Comments from our customers ….

Coverage of manufacture, testing, airline service and life in the RAF is thorough. The photography is crisp and colorful. The editing is professional.  B.E.
