Jacko.
As volunteered by Beags, another younger member of the Tanker Mafia.
Valiant BK1. Fitted with Mk 16 HDU, like the Mk17 but DC driven rather than AC as the Valiant was DC. Initially the system used a flat fronted probe nozzle but then converted to the rounded tip cus it went in more easily [yes]. Also initially a solid metal drogue but then used the spoked canopy. Max T/O weight with under wings 175000lbs. 4 times Avon 205 with water meth injection.
Victor1, kit as Victor2, forget MTOW, sorry.
