22 FLIGHT 6 FEBRUARY 1959 Yes, with the Special design features of the Vickers VANGUARD cut time on the ground — and therefore operating costs — to a minimum. Cabin doors fore and aft, with built-in folding stairs, ensure rapid passenger handling. With their wide doors, the capacious freight holds permit simultaneous loading and unloading, and the large floor area allows spacing out of individual packages for rapid unloading at successive stops. All services are readily accessible, and the actual pressure re-fuelling for a 1,500-mile flight takes only six minutes. With its low tyre pressures, the VANGUARD does not have to wait to use a par- ticular part of the apron. All this gives the VANGUARD more time where it should be — in the air! It's the airline's airliner. ARRANGEMENT OF SIMULTANEOUS TURN ROUND ACTIONS (1500 n.m.)
