G-ASGK ¦ LHR 04.09.1977

            Vickers VC-10-1151 (c/n 861)
British Airways
London-Heathrow (LHR/EGLL)
04 September 1977

Built in 1967 for BOAC and entering the British Airways fleet in 1974 upon the merger of BOAC and BEA, this classic Heathrow shot of a classic Super VC-10 was taken from the old carpark 2 at terminal 2, a location I believe is no longer accessible. Note the bunch of British Airways, Pan Am and TWA early-model 747s and a lovely Concorde at terminal 3 in the background.

G-ASGK was eventually sold to the Royal Air Force in 1981 as ZD239, and was used for spares at Abingdon, where it was broken-up during 1987. The fuselage was reported as going to the RAF Fire School at Manston, but when RAF operations at Manston were wound down in 1999, and the airport closed in 2014, it was most certainly scrapped sometime between 1999 and 2014.
