Container Lorry

Not every Vic Viper was a sleek starfighter. The design proved to be highly adaptable and was used for a wide variety of spacecraft. One of the more unusual examples is shown in this archive photo, working at Blwch Mawr Container Port.

 

These little VVs buzzed around the port like busy bees. They were mainly used for lifting containers off the storage racks and onto lorries. The lorries were highly manoeuvrable, having spheres instead of discs for wheels. This allowed them to roll sideways as well as forwards and backwards and turning.
