Four tanks in pairs facing fore and aft. The facing end angled slightly down where the fuel outlets were. Secured to the floor by means of twist fittings. They were in the two tank configuration, forward only, when they burst and sent a wall of flame through the cockpit between the pilot and crewman when XW 203 crashed in 1974. It blew most of the cockpit out and then the flame was sucked back into the cabin as the roof opened up. Both of the crew stepped out of the front with minor burns. Anybody in the back would have been fried.
