With its fuselage covered with strategically located strain gauges, ZA147 is subjected to the interior/exterior pressure differences experienced at altitude in order to assess the effects of in-flight stress on its fuselage structure. This aircraft flew the last operational sortie of an RAF VC10 on Sept 20th 2013. This photo is copyright © Malcolm Clarke, and may not be used or published in any way without permission.
