KC135 MPRS
The KC135s now often get airborne with their equivalent of the HDUs on the VC10, allowing probe-equipped USAF/USN ac to refuel using probe and drogue rather than the boom method. There is a limited number of sets at Mildenhall, so not all 135s have them.
IIRC, MPRS = Multi-Point Refuelling System.
Can anyone out there confirm whether and which RAF ac are cleared to refuel from MPRS? From what I have heard and read, it would seem to be a much better option than BDA! Such a capability might also improve prospects for bootleg!!!!!!!!
