The link shows some good photos. Some were taken at Farnborough last year. I understand though that the DC-10 was just for show. The boom and pods were removed before the aircraft took off.

As for the operating station, the Dutch Air Force tankers have it on a pallet that is loaded in the cabin and is removed dependent on the role employed.

They have been succesfully using the 707s but I don't know if they have managed to use a DC-10 yet.
