The Super VC10 was larger and any problems ironed out.

And yet only 22 were ever sold

You have this great ability not get any point. The point is that the
British made better planes but never sold well.

Airlines are commercial organisations who buy the
aircraft most fitted for the purpose.

The VC10 was quieter and a great favourite with passengers. The 707 was not
as nice to fly in. I know I have been on both many, many times. The VC10
also looked better too.

Proves the point. The 1-11 was a better plane than its eqivs yet sold
well
but inferior US planes sold better.

In the marketplace inferior products rarely outsell
superior ones.

You are naive. In any cases cheap capital costs are what sells to cash
strapped companies, hoping to hide the higher running costs.
