Do you think Charlie will miss the front half of his office if you cut it off and move it to my hangar to make a flight simulator out of? Grin

We just won't tell him thats all.... Wink

Doug, some may become available between now an 2014! '807 is the oldest left now on the fleet, so might not have much longer left. Cry

Vickers VC10 (C Mk 1K). Transport (as it is here) or AAR tanker.

The prop acts like a RAM air turbine, providing power for the refuelling system unless I'm mistaken....

Its a RAT (Ram Air Turbine) - there's a fuel pump behind it, and via some clever technical bits and pieces, essentially it provides the power to trail (extend) and wind in the hoses.

Here's a diagram of the FR Mk32 pod, as fitted to the '10:
