The Vickers VC-10 is one of the great achievements of the British jet age.
Designed to BOAC's demanding "hot and high" specification for African routes, it delivered short-field performance no American rival could match, and its four rear-mounted Rolls-Royce Conway engines gave passengers a cabin quiet enough to inspire the "Try a little VC-Tenderness" advertising campaign.
In March 1979 a Super VC-10 flew New York to Prestwick in 5 hours 1 minute, a subsonic transatlantic record that stood for 41 years until Storm Ciara pushed a British Airways 747 past it in 2020. Beyond civil service the type flew as an RAF strategic transport and air-to-air tanker until 2013, giving the design a 48-year military career.
A piece for enthusiasts who followed the type from Brooklands to Brize Norton and recognise it as the final fanfare of Britain's golden age of airliner design.
NOTE: The exact placement of the design may vary from the images due to scaling for different t-shirt sizes and variations in the printing process.
