Indeed Mogwi
At our final? Dunsfold Families Day the RAF kindly supplied 2 x GR7's for a display flight (Jenks ?).
We usually had 2 x Demin Bowsers - one with electric powered pump (for hangar) - the other with a single cyl Yanmar diesel for the flightline.
Meanwhile the diesel bowser had been sent 'oop north' without anybody telling us (situation normal then
)
Anyway the 2 GR's arrived and requested water I said '' leave it with me'' and we went and collected as many extension reels/leads as possible - now I cannot remember exactly how far the a/c was from the flight line hut but it must have been 100/150 yards LOL - the electric bowser
slowly filled up the tanks with us keeping a close eye on the ext leads,we didn't see any smoke
but it took a while !
