One of my friends (who had flown both) used to say that the Belfast was like their C-133 only our one worked.
Yes, with 10 lost (one in a ground fire) out of 50 built gets into some fighter loss percentages. If you ever get a chance to go to the museum in Dover, Delaware, USA, the C-133 is often open, or the docents are happy to open her up. Great museum especially if you love trash haulers. The cockpit is truly like sitting on a sofa in a greenhouse. The docents are instructed not to bring up the losses unless a guest brings it up. If you do bring it up they are happy to talk about it and you can clearly see the doubler plates and strapping bands that were put in place in the forward fuselage by the cargo door and overhead. Fascinating to see from an engineering side. Many surmise some of the early unexplained losses may have been due to crack propagation, but as the losses were over water this evidence was lacking. One of the final crashes showed the cracking.
The crews also commented that the flight engineer would keep his hand close to the large fuel dump lever by his right hand as an engine loss on takeoff was considered catastrophic.
Otherwise when she wasn't crashing the crews seemed to like her....
