Vickers VC-10 C.1K

Serial #:
832

Birmingham/Elmdon Int'l Airport - EGBB, United Kingdom

Notes:

Noisy take-off from runway 15 after bringing in a medical evacuation flight. Special tail markings commemorate 1000 years of Oxfordshire. These 40-year old aircraft are still doing good service for the RAF on these missions as well as in-flight refuelling and personnel transport sorties from their base at Brize Norton.
