EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the moment of takeoff for Vickers VC10 G-ARVJ, adorned with the distinctive markings of British Overseas Airways Corporation (BOAC), at London Airport in 1965. The Vickers VC10, a versatile and advanced long-range transport aircraft, was a pioneering design of its time, featuring four Rolls-Royce Conway engines and a unique T-tail configuration. BOAC, a leading British airline, was a trailblazer in the post-war aviation industry, connecting the UK to destinations around the world. The VC10 was an essential addition to their fleet, providing speed, range, and comfort for passengers on long-haul flights. As G-ARVJ lifts off the runway, a plume of smoke rises behind it, leaving the tarmac and the London Airport sign in its wake. The scene is a testament to the power and capability of this iconic aircraft, as it embarks on another journey across the globe. The photograph, taken in 1965, captures a moment in aviation history, showcasing the spirit of innovation and adventure that defined the era.
