Yes I am well aware that the temp at the altitudes you refuel at is around -40 degrees C, but that is not the critical factor. Temp differential is the thing we look at on trials ie, +50 (on ground) to -40 (in flight). Temp differentional affects pipe structure, joints and seals.
I would not call the ferry flights for the Falklands and Gulf 1 & 2 controlled flight trials.
