First flight on 25 March 1966, accepted as a VC-10 C1 on 7 July 1996 and was the first of its type for the Royal Air Force. The tanker transporter was delivered on 17 November 1966. It was later modified to C1K. The VC-10 made its very last flight for the RAF on 6 April 2010. It flew that day from homebase Brize Norton to Bruntingthorpe. It was stored up to mid-2010 and then scrapped at Bruntingthorpe by late July 2010. It is seen here during its take-off from Schiphol runway 06-24.
