Gorgeous, beautiful aircraft. Such a shame to think that all these ladies have now been cut up. I do wish British business had more respect for our engineering heritage. Sadly money talks.
Yes I knew Harry Hall, lovely chap and a very senior “ back ender” I really enjoyed the Cold War ops, even the day when a Sam nearly took us down, but that’s another story. Best regards Peter Tamblin
@@defenestrate4957 OK. in this instance, he is sitting in the front, therefore may not be the primary pilot flying but I have seen him occupy both seats (at different times). So, if he wasn't the primary for this exercise, it doesn't mean he can't fly the APACHE because he can...and he has.
@@user-zo9pi3gj1x I've never seen one single picture or video of Harry sitting in the pilot's seat, (the back) of an Apache aircraft, and I've scoured the internet... There is no video that exists of Harry flying the Apache solo, or in the pilot's seat.. Please tell me where to find it. It's possible that in an emergency Harry could "take over" the controls. However, I would bet any amount of money that any pilot who flew with Harry prayed that never happens. Harry failed his Apache test 3 times.
@@defenestrate4957 The aircraft wasn't in the air, it was on the ground. Regardless, he knows how to fly it, even in the case of emergency. Hence his position as co-pilot and gunner.
It won't. It is now too old and corrosion has damaged the airframe far beyond the point of recovery as she's been sat outside now for more than 30 years. Also, there is no engineering support or spares etc which is required to get her back in the air. The last time I saw her she was basically stuck in a junk yard in the corner of the airfield, had deteriorated even further and is very unlikely to move from there in one piece.
The VC10 was one of the most splendid aeroplanes ever built. When it comes to style and dignity, the British have it over the rest of us. That's why it's called GREAT Britain!
SEEK THE LORD JESUS WITH ALL YOUR HEART REPENT NOW OF YOUR SINS! BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS THAT he is the SON OF God Jesus is the only way to heaven John 3 16 For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Beautiful little thing, thát one and the Dash 7 was my favorite aircraft when growing up, I'm sure I can draw the 125 blindfolded....!!! ;- ) ;- ) ;- )
