A point that may interest the readers: Many years ago I had a conversation with the test pilot who was tasked with clearing the Belfast for in-flight refuelling. He told me that it failed the trials as a result of the characteristics of the Tyne engine control response - I forget the details constant speeding versus RPM changes in the scheduling (unlike the C130) Perhaps someone can confirm this because many photos of the Belfast show them fitted with probes.
