"Today I watched fuel coming out of a place it shouldn't during a sortie, and now I merely wish to differentiate between "lies, damn lies, and statistics"
I would have thought that ANY fuel coming out of a place it shouldn't on a Nimrod during a sortie is dangerous.
"We even have diagrams of the wings so you can mark on where all the known leaks are!"
I suppose this is what is meant by acceptable risk. We know about the leaks so its not a problem.
If you know there are leaks the MOD should provide the money to fix them or the aircraft should be grounded. The fuel system was not designed to leak the way it is currently doing.
