QuoteNo, one centreline store for a torpedo or 2,000lb bomb, one under each wing for a 1,000 bomb.
Okay... that's good
That being said, I'd like to remind everybody in a manner reminiscent of the SNL bit on Julian Assange, that no matter how I die: It was murder (even if there was a suicide note or a video of me peacefully dying in my sleep); should I be framed for a criminal offense or disappear, you know to blame.

Details from the 1960 brochure for the Gannet Courier: an extended version of the COD.4 with a passenger/casevac capability.

That would look sharp in white over gray transport colors.

Bearing in mind that the rear cabin is right next to the exhausts, it'll need a: sealing properly b: good insulation as it'll be...toasty in there, not to mention noisy.

It mentions heat insulation and soundproofing in the text on the second page.

Using the AEW3 exhausts would make more sense, they're a lot further forward.
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

I thought that too. It might be that the proposal was for a conversion of the ASW airframes that were going out of service at the time.
