The Vickers-Armstrongs V-1000 was a prototype jet-powered cargo aircraft designed to a UK Ministry of Supply requirement for a strategic transport to support the V bomber fleet. Both the Ministry and Vickers also intended to use the same basic design as the VC7 a six-abreast trans-Atlantic jet airliner for BOAC. With the prototype largely complete the Ministry of Supply cancelled the development contract in 1955.
