VC10 XV102 retires to Brunty.

[T-Bag]

XV102 arrived at Bruntingthorpe today, I've alot of shots but a lot of dirt on the sensor too it seems, i've cleaned a few up to post.

We got 2 fly throughs and a very short landing roll out and a burst rear main wheel, you can see the fire crew checking it out after it was shut down,

XV107 was also due but went tech

anyhoo........

I was also there and got close footage of it's landing and it's tyre bursting!

I'd chosen that exact moment to alter my position so i missed it!

I genuinly have no idea when 107 is due i'm afraid.

I guess after Xmas now, heard it was a oil leak. Brunty is stacking the aircraft up now

107 was delivered to Bruntingthorpe today. I am led to believe that xv101 is due to make her last flight on 20th december, so there will be 4 10's there (assuming xv105 won't have been totally reduced to spares by then!)
