Just love the VC10, a great aircraft that could have been so much better but for Boeing Airways hamstringing it with "must have" requirements, then complaining and demanding subsidies in compensation due to the cost and performance compromises their requirements created  :-\

Forget about his bow and arrows- why wait until that sparrow has done his deed when I can just bury him right now 'cause I'm sick and tired of hearing why he wants to have his way with the cock robin!?

Beautiful head-on shot of the testbed Harrier T.2 that RAE-Bedford flies (flew?) for research purposes.  Anyone have the data on the pods it has where a stock first-generation Harrier would have cannon pods?
