REFUELLING

The military , US/UK have big rubber` donuts` for fuel farms.Can be rolled on/off Hercs easily. Also possible to refuel directly off a Herc. refuelling panel, if theyve got the kit, otherwise , stick a hose over the fuel jettison outlet pipe(wingtip), and do it by gravity!!!!
Large helos should be used to take stores to large clear areas, then use smaller types to `feed` the more remote sites.
G7; if they don`t want you there, then try and go somewhere else......You should know what politicians are like....just woken up and want all the `kudos`....All the best to all in the endeavour. Syc........
