Vickers type designations

[Bazinga]

So, after the Viscount, I started working on the VC-10. This is actually more difficult because of What-If modellers and persistent error copying in later publications. I'm not claiming to be done here but this is as far as I got. Especially about timing I have green as evidence, yellow as fairly sure and red as educated guess. I've used vc10.net as close to the source but also this site is not complete. I've dismissed speculative Skybolt and Bomber variants. If Vickers did not allocate a number or if there is no evidence of a project, I'm dismissing it.

I've just got a message from Jelle Hieminga that the list is correct. This has been counterchecked, via him, by John McCrickard the author of the VC10 book. So, I would say this is as close of a reconstruction as we can get.
