VC10
The Vickers VC10 was Britain’s answer to long-range jet travel—designed for BOAC and optimized for hot-and-high performance from short runways in Africa and the Middle East. First flown in 1962, the VC10 featured a distinctive rear-mounted quad-engine layout and T-tail configuration, offering a quiet cabin and impressive speed. It held the record for the fastest subsonic transatlantic crossing for over 40 years.
This category features high-resolution prints of VC10 aircraft in flight, on takeoff, and in preservation—captured by aviation photographer Stuart H. Bourne. Included are Standard and Super VC10 variants, RAF C.1K and K.3 tankers, and preserved examples from Bruntingthorpe, Duxford, and Brooklands. Each image is cataloged with verified serials, operator history, and archival context.
Whether you're drawn to the VC10’s BOAC elegance, its RAF transport and refueling roles, or its enduring legacy in British aviation, these prints offer a visually rich tribute to one of the most distinctive jetliners ever buil
