Who runs the fleet of VC10 and TriStar refuelling aircraft at present is it the RAF or another contractor ???
Well, Flying and 1st line maint. is done by the RAF.
Mr B... nice to see that you remember the slow speed drogue burn rate... perhaps the captain I did a ground cat on today could contact you
as he didn't know it
(oh and yes it was me that damaged the Merc some years ago Dan!! and the other chap is still a FL... but not for long... soon to be a !st Officer)
I am not really sure, from what I have read so far, just how much closer we are to seeing these aircraft for real. I think I can safely say I will need my VC10 FRCs for a while yet though. I looked at the airtanker web site yesterday and there was nothing new there... suppose we will just have to wait... and we are good at that
