Ep.172 - VC10derness

Only 54 examples of the iconic and much-adored Vickers VC10 were built, yet it went on to become an innovator and market changer for international long-haul travel. Great British technology and its suitability for multiple roles lead it to have an extended life with the RAF as an airlifter and tanker.   In this feature we talk to Jelle Hieminga, an expert on the VC10, and webmaster for the highly entertaining and detailed web portal and encyclopedia for the VC10 – VC10.net   Recorded 25th April 2023  Link Tree https://linktr.ee/aviationxtended Contact Us: [email protected] VC10derness  Web https://www.vc10.net/index2.html    Twitter https://twitter.com/TrueVC10derness Facebook https://www.facebook.com/VC10derness         Other Useful Links  https://www.baesystems.com/en-uk/heritage/vickers-vc10   Aviation Xtended Partners • Royal Aeronautical Society https://www.aerosociety.com/• Global Aviation Resource http://www.globalaviationresource.com/v2/• XTPMedia https://www.xtpmedia.co.uk/• Ellie Carter https://twitter.com/dragongirl94 Show Supporters • The Aviation Historian http://www.theaviationhistorian.com/• Wings Over New Zealand Show http://cambridgeairforce.org.nz/WONZ_Show.html• Aviation Enthusiasts Book Club https://www.facebook.com/groups/359410134220076• Aircrew Book Review http://aircrewbookreview.blogspot.com/ You can shop through this Amazon link (No cost to you but a small benefit to us):• https://www.amazon.co.uk/?tag=xtenaeroradi-21&linkCode=ur1 For Aviation and Aerospace Podcasts join https://www.facebook.com/groups/FlightAudioandVideo/
