SLC I apologise, I was not referring to the Nimrod tragedy because we do not yet know the cause. That we have lost 2 talented, priceless crews is undeniable fact. It is too early to state if lack of fuel tank protection was a factor in the Nimrod crash. However, lack of foam was a major factor in the Herc crash and we await the BoI for the 2nd Hercules that perished on a strip this year, thankfully with no loss of life. However, I strongly believe that no mil ac should be procured without fuel tank protection and I would hope that those involved in the Nimrod procurement project are looking at this.
