Thankyou for your comments John, obviously the deck is not yet painted and I was aware of several errors in its initial drawing, indeed your F4 photo will be invaluable reference for which I thankyou.

The information that I seek is that it would appear that a Bucc on departure has the same control setup (flaps, ailerons) as it does on arrival, Johns photo appears to confirm this.

A few years ago artist David Shepard painted a VC10 taking off with full flap and has never lived it down since, I am quite keen to ensure that my observations are correct as in normal terrestrial based flight they would be wrong.

Must be a Bucc man out there somewhere....
