They also recommended the APU, cargo door, in-flight refuelling option and most importantly...a Navigator station.

Surprising ! The VC10s in BOAC already had a nav station, spent many hours at it, then joy of joys, INS, dual Carousel 4s !!

But the RAF was right to request an APU !

What a wonderful aeroplane, the sound of which could only be bettered by a Merlin or a Concorde in full burner !
