Try dumping some of that cargo in the bays, see if it doesn't help performance somewhat. ;-) Just don't do it over my backyard please. Hee hee
I used to help out at a local aviation museum here. We were restoring an old Lanc. I remember reading the performance figures at the time back then, but can't remember them now. I do remember there was quite a difference in performance with a full load, and empty. Deliver the cargo, and then hightail it home. Pretty slow target on the way to work though, as I remember. Must have taken some guts to strap in to one of those old birds!!
