TORNADO TO STANLEY
From my time in the (old) Bradenhan Beeches Bunker in 1982, Tornado to Stanley was looked at very seriously, hauling the still under development JP233. Anyone remember a little publicised non-stop trip of a Tornado of TWCU from Honington, through the Akrotiri overhead and direct back to Honington (tanked, of course)? This was to check engine oil and lox consumption on a long duration sortie because these were seen as the aircraft's main technical limitations in trying to get one from Ascension to Stanley and back. As history records, it didn't happen, but it WAS looked at very seriously.
