About
A strategic freighter with a rear ramp and a cargo hold big enough for a helicopter or a missile, built for the RAF and later flown commercially. No type certificate for it is reachable — the FAA's regulatory system is closed to us and EASA never held the type — so this entry carries its history but none of the certified weights the rest of the library is built on.
