A cargo-carrying box?
I'll have you know that, we in Oz, post-war, were proud to have a York as our Vice-Regal VIP aircraft.
Finished in all-over gleaming white and sumptuously fitted out on the inside, there was nothing to match it this side of the equator, I believe.
Special sound insulation had been installed, but I gather that it only reduced post-flight deafness from three days to one.
Were they any quieter on just three engines?
