What if Vickeres Armstrong created the VC.6 as a larger version of the VC.5, include all suggestions from MoS and BOAC (incl shorter gear, but keep the 2+2 seats abreast arrangement) and used more "readily available parts" of the Valiant? This version was a tad smaller than the later proposed VC.7 and was more cost effective as it used the wings and tailsection of the Valiant.

Planning to change the nose section by one from a Nord Noratlas. Current canopy is from a Noratlas and fits the 1/125 DC-10 fuselage rather well. It's just that the lower part of the nose section is protruding a little too much.
