FMT. Whilst the TriStar turned out to be unsuitable as a tanker for the Herc it was bought, in a bit of a rush, as a strategic tanker and the only regular strategic task at the time was the chocolate lorry run to the Falklands. It was only subsequently that its truckie and other refuelling roles were found to make use of what turned out to be a very versatile asset.
