Small correction....Crabair is the Fleet Air Arm, part of the Senior Service, nickname for the RAF, and RAF personnel are referred to as 'crabs'. No idea what they called us. Service banter and all that, don't you know. Nothing to do with lice of course

VC 10 had a few incidents and accidents, but over extensive service with the RAF, ending in 2013, a solid enough aircraft.
