The VDA first started to appear around 1974, and were built with an external frame on the ends with no end ventilator and hinged centre doors and separate quarter doors at the outer ends. These could carry 31 tons at speeds of up to 60 mph but this was reduced to twenty one tons for speeds up to 70 mph. This proved to be one of the more successful designs and remained very much in demand throughout the 1990's, including internal use for the British Army to transfer stock around different depots. Their ease of access makes them ideal for loading and unloading with fork lift trucks etc. They are believed to be the most common type of air braked van built by BR.
