Absolutely beautiful. My father worked on the old VC-10's - and your photo brought a gleam to his eye. From a maintenance point-of-view he had nothing nice to say about them, but he admitted that they were a beautiful bird. The sun is indeed setting on the career of this loyal servant, and your image is most fitting, and most apt.
