Vickers VC-10, G-Avrm, British Airways, London Heathrow Airport 1977

Product Description

It was through BOAC’s many changes in their orders that G-ARVM became the last of the BOAC’s ‘Standard’ VC-10s. When production of the VC10 commenced the order book listed 15 Standard VC10s and 30 Super VC10s for BOAC, both numbers that had already changed many times. In December 1961 the contract was once more amended to reduce the numbers to 12 Standards and 20 Supers. But another result of this change was that the already planned c/n’s 816, 817 and 818, to be registered as -VN, -VO and -VP, would not be built which automatically made G-ARVM the last Type 1101 Standard VC10.
