And I agree, the thread makes fascinating (or should that be frightening) reading, particularly those inputs from Tuc, Chug 2 and Rigga, but also beggars the question 'why did MB roll over?' Or have I missed something
thanks I take your point on the plastic tank, however fuel suppressant discussions (and the lack of airworthiness action to implement protection) feature heavily in many of the posts in this thread. As for why MB rolled over? A very good question which also deserves an answer.
