Please state type/fuel burn/fuel capacity and also how many operational aircraft would be in a squadron.
I am trying to build a picture of fuel usage per sortie and also on a daily basis.
tubby, what you're asking is a massive amount of information. A lot of this is available on public websites as well, so I would suggest a bit of Wikipedia trawling to get all this information together. Start by compiling a list of the types you're after and let us know where you hit a blank.
