        At the end of the fifties British govnerment decided to stop
        the V-1000 project ( 4 engine long range aircraft ).So 
        british aeronautical industry was in inferiority and BOAC had 
        to buy American aircraft to fight the competition in north
        Atlantic.
        Vickers, which became a member of British Aricraft Corporation, 
        had to build an aircraft able to compete the four engine made 
        in America, especially designed for Africa and Far east 
        destinations.
        These airports had short runways so the aicraft had to take off
        on a short distance, so the " Caravelle " configuration was hold.
        This Aircraft arrived too late and has the 707's performances 
        ( except length for take off which is 400 meters shorter and 10
        knots less for approach speed ); but the American Aircraft were
        largely tested.
        Only 65 went on production.

        Installation : copy vc10boac.air in pilots or sim sub directory

           made ).
