Description

On entering service the VC10 was a hit with both pilots and passengers. Britain's postal service, the Royal Mail, used a VC10 silhouette as its Air Letter logo for many years. Interestingly, the VC10's introduction on the trans-Atlantic services showed a 40% increase over the Boeing 707'-s that were operating on those routes at the time.  Passengers quickly became accustomed to a silent cabin due to the rear mounted engines and state-of-the-art seating. BOAC's First Class service was soon the preferred choice of travel for the rich and famous.
