This VC-10 was delivered in April 1968 as a C.1 to 10 Sqd RAF Brize Norton. In June 1996 it was converted to a C.1K and transferred 101 Sqd. It was withdrawn from service in December 2011 and ferried to Bruntingthorpe to be scrapped. Here is a close-up picture of the engine mounts and tail before they were gone.
