Seeking a suitable long-range transport aircraft and to supplement air-to-air refulling capability the RAF purchased Vickers VC-10s from civil airlines from 1978. Several variants were created depending on the configuration, while all retained some troop transport capability in later conversions an increased volume of fuselage space was utilised for in-flight refueling fuel storage.
The RAF operated 13 VC10 C1Ks, as recreated in model form by Corgi, these aircraft having under-wing refuelling pods, flown by 101 Squadron from RAF Brize Norton, Oxfordshire.
The RAF VC-10s were withdrawn from service in 2013 as the new Airbus A330 Voyager tanker aircraft were commissioned.
