The bulk of the RAF’s air-to-air refueling fleet comprises VC-10 K3 and K4 aircraft flown by No. 101 Squadron based at RAF Brize Norton. ZA140/A was the first VC-10 tanker to enter RAF service on July 25, 1983, as a K.Mk.2. Together with the Victor tanker, it was invaluable during the 1991 Gulf War, and the number of refueling sorties it carried out is recorded on the starboard side of the nose. In 2001, the VC-10 K2 made its last flight as a tanker.
