More on the engines and performance of the Belfast versus the Cargomaster: the C-133, again according to my Ian Allan "Military aircraft of the world," 1973 edition, had four 7500 shp engines (P and W), a gross weight of 286,000 lb and-not surprisingly-a not very high max speed of only 359 mph. Another case of under-power, I think.
