Silly me. I had assumed they use overwing gravity refuelling - surely that must be cheaper? (And no valves to go wrong)

Jock. Do you remember doing that in Francistown circa 1965/66? Barrels of fuel fork lifted (or some such method) to be high enough and poor flight engineer precariously on top of wing. I chose not to join him in a supervisory capacity
