Forgive my ignorance of matters 'South Atlantic' - I was never 'blessed' with a tour on the FI. Didn't the C-130 fulfil the role of providing a top-up for whatever fast jets were resident over the years? There have been claims in the thread that the A400 does not (at the moment anyway) meet that requirement. If so, how are the Typhoons going to receive an emergency fill-up when the weather goes t1ts-up?
