DC8

At the time Britannia were looking after IAS Cargo, who operated Brits, they started to operate the DC8, only one I think, and they bought the Charlotte Ranger aircraft for spares, (no cargo door).

For Information.

On 747s all of the aircraft is heated/cooled as required, upper deck, main deck, and holds, fwd, aft and bulk.
Converted freighters sometimes still have three packs, new build cargo only have two.
