The alterations include the fitting of an in-flight refuelling probe and centre-line hose drum unit (HDU). The tanker role has a close circuit television (CCTV) system fitted to allow the crew to monitor the refuelling operation. The interior of the aircraft has been reworked to military specifications and can take a wide variety and combinations of loads, including up to 20 pallets of equipment or 250 passengers.
