Great capture Kanyiko! I came back from Germany in one of these. After the outward trip in a VC10, it felt like Arnhem!!

I can imagine it would have been rather basic, especially after BA's touch of VC Ten-derness!

Oh it wasn't BA it was an RAF VC10 and the Stewardess was a gorgeous WRAF sergeant. Ooh La la!!

Same here, I was surprised when I saw the photograph, as I didn't see them when I took this picture!

I must say, as much as I love prop aircraft (and I love them a lot) I've never seen a prop vortex before today! Absolutely stunning work, I'm so glad you shared this with us.
