Since only VC10Ks were based in the Malvinas, the freight door question was somewhat irrelevant
Still had the front one though?
Or even the emergeny chute, then you could watch everything you chucked out hitting the wing
As for SAR more like SAnoR
Chuck the dingy in the undercarriage door and raise the gear, after all I once saw a set of intake blanks deploy successfully after a new muppet out of training had managed to throw them in there having been told walk down the side and when you find an open door chuck them in there, unfortunately for him the freight door was closed, so the next opening was the main UC bay.
