Gulf Air VC-10 G-ARVJ was purchased by the British MoD for use with the RAF. It was used as a spares source and alotted maintenance number 8977M. It was scrapped in 1994.
In 1992 the VC-10 C.1 had not yet been converterd as a tanker/transporter. Very impressive to be near this aircraft when it was winding up its four Conways!
