In response to Mad_Mark and camelspyyder:

Air Incident Ser No Kin 60\2006

"fluid was seen dripping into the bomb bay at approx 1 drop per sec."

"On landing, the tristar crew reported that the level of venting from the rear of the aircrapt was similar to that of a fuel dump."

Air Incident Ser No Kin 066/06 AL1

"The VC10 reported a total offload of 42,900LB. The Nimrod recorded an increase of 30,300LBS into the tanks plus an incontact fuel burn of 4,700LBS. Including the usual 100lb discrepancy, the total recorded uplift comes to 36,000LB"

VC-10 offloads 42,900 lbs Nimrod uplift 36,000 lbs.

There is a discrepancy of 6,900 lbs of fuel.

I can't remember the last time I spilt 6,900 lbs of fuel on Tesco's forecourt! Am I missing something here????
