Leaving on a jet plan

A model VC-10 at the National Museum of Scotland. Part of the leaving Scotland area in the Changing nation section.
This was the first type of plane I went on, well long haul anyway, travelling to a new life the middle east as a child. A British Immigrant leaving UK during the dark power cut days of the 70's.
The journey was made more eventful by my having to make a dash to be sick in the toilets to the rear just when coming in to land at Doha. Must have been too excited! 
I expect that's why they had the cutaway presented like this, just for my memories :-)
