The VC10 that became “ZA148” was originally manufactured as a “Super VC10 Type 1154”, the distinguishing feature being a large cargo door in the port forward fuselage which allowed it to operate as a freight carrier as well as a passenger airliner. She was delivered to her first owners, East African Airlines in 1967 and operated with them with the registration 5Y-ADA until 1977.

After her civilian career, ZA148 was converted to ‘K3’ in-flight re-fuelling tank configuration and commenced her service career in 1984 with the Aeroplane and Armament Experimental Establishment (A&AEE) based at Boscombe Down in Wiltshire where she participated in testing, trials and development programs for 2 years alongside VC10 K2 “ZA141”.

Until the advent of Concorde, the VC10 was the world's fastest jet airliner.

The first VC10s ordered by the RAF were named after Victoria Cross holders.
