Prober - re the boost fuel - I stand to be corrected, but IIRC the fuel load was calculated in the normal way and 900KG min (ie it wasn't an extra 900kg) was loaded in the centre tank as that was the only tank that fed the boost (or an imbalance would result if it was fed from a wing tank). What was left was used in the passing FL100 fuel balancing process.
The T2 had a fin tank (700kg??) which drained into the centre tank - there was a speed limit (300kts??) until it had been used - also the T2 had water injection as an option on take off. This enhanced performance as long as you didn't want to climb, accelerate and turn at the same time. I remember a few occasions at Naples climbing into an inversion, turning and automatically levelling out.
The original Trident had 'pitch pvds' to the outboard of P1 & P2.
David Maltby's sim looks very close to the real thing - with the significant ommission of the pen holders under the coaming and chart holders below the DV window - both vital + (the scrap of card on the coaming with the flight number on it!)
