Vc10's were MLI sticks. Ahhhh the fun and games, flight planning computer gives them the fuel load then the flight eng asks you on the side for an extra couple of K and lose it, then so does the pilot. With judicious transferring you could lose it in the galleries and up the fin without it indicating on the gauges, the eng would then select the supposedly indicating empty fin and empty it in flight.
