Pontious,
This might have been a TriStar trail back to UK from Cyprus? A typical Tristar trail from Cyprus would arrive back at Brize OH with about 20T instantaneous, although it could be upto about 40T in unusual circumstances. Whereas, although a Trooper might be a TriStar K/KC airframe, the Trooper would arrive at Brize with only about 8T div fuel available and, the crew would also be unlikely to all be tanker qualified.
