International. 13 January 1966 61 This "Flight" artist's drawing illustrates the main features of the Royal Air Force's new transport, the British Aircraft Corporation Military VCIO. The drawing and key denote the principal differences from the Standard and Super VCIOs, but readers may wish to make their own comparisons with the drawings of these aircraft which appeared in our issues of May 10, 1962, and April I, 1965, respectively. Though unlikely to be carried simultaneously, the assorted loads shown in the cutaway fuselage are intended to indicate the wide variety which the aircraft will accept. Typical alternative loads are illustrated in the basic accommodation plans at the foot of this page Iliffe Transport Publications Ltd 1966 23 |;'P c.3Q«oi^<^o|^i Flight refuelling probe Probe illuminating lamps Cover plate used when probe removed Flight refuelling pipe Navigator's station (modified) Lightweight supernumerary crew seat Flight engineer's panel (modi- fied) Lavatory Miscellaneous stowage Dinghy packs (Standard VCIO type) Forward service door (Standard VCIO type) Frames and floor beams strength- ened for increased loading BUA-type main cargo door, 83inx I39in Detachable loading sill Freight-lifting platform (as used with Britannia) Loading lamps Upper lashing points, 60in spacing Lower lashing points, 40in spacing Floor lashing grid, 20inx20in spacing Seat rails Lashing ring Machined floor Redesigned cabin air outlet Standard pallet 88in x IO8in Pallet-loading roller track Ball mat for pallet handling XI Movable bulkhead 28 Wing and inboard fence (Super VCIO type) 29 Leading-edge fence 30 Wing-tips (Super VCIO type) 31 Transfer tank 32 Stretchers 33 Offset stretcher posts 34 Hat-rack 35 Therapeutic points M Strengthened main gear (Super VCIO type) 37 Rearward-facing trooping seats 38 Air quartermasters' seats 39 Air quartermasters' panel 40 Main galley 41 Passenger entrance door (Stan- dard VCIO type) 42 Urinal 43 Rear service door (Standard VCIO type) 44 Rear dinghy packs 45 Fin de-icing (as on Super VCIO) 46 Fin fuel-transfer 47 Fin tank (1,355 Imp gal) 48 APU 49 APU air intake 50 APU exhaust 51 Rolls-Royce RCo.43 engines 52 Outboard lightweight thrust reversers 53 Fin-fuel jettison 54 Doppler aerial 55 Emergency exit doors (Standard VCIO type) 56 Extended drag-reducing fairing 57 Cabin air exhaust
