Try something like this:

awk 'NR==FNR{if($0 ~ "V_0001:00TZ_1005"){n=NR}next} FNR < n-9 || FNR-n > 1' file file

source file is called V_0001.g

awk 'NR==FNR{if($0 ~ "V_0001:00TZ_1005"){n=NR}next} FNR < n-9 || FNR-n > 1' V_0001.g

Use input file 2 times as given by Franklin

awk 'NR==FNR{if($0 ~ "V_0001:00TZ_1005"){n=NR}next} FNR < n-9 || FNR-n > 1' file file
